Chilicola (Chilioediscelis) penai
Willis and Packer
new species
Diagnosis:
Males can be differentiated from all other species except
C. araucana
and
C. patagonica
by the colouration of their legs (See diagnosis for
C. araucana
on how to separate these three species from all others and each other).
Females are unique in the combination of mandible with yellow spot at base and metasomal terga mostly orange, with brown markings laterally on T1 and T2.
Description: Male:
Length 7.0mm, forewing length
3.5mm
, head width
1.8 mm
, intertegular span
1.3mm
.
Colouration:
As in
C. andina
except yellow as follows, labrum entirely, clypeus mostly (brown along lateral margins), lower paraocular area maculation present along dorsolateral margin of clypeus, anterior surface of profemur, pro- and mesotibia mostly, metatibia almost entirely with at most small dark spot, probasistarsus entirely.
Pubescence:
As in
C. andina
.
Surface Sculpture:
As in
C. andina
except as follows, striae on gena extending to close to mandible base; mesoscutum and mesopleuron with punctures denser (i=1–2d), noticeably sparser above level of scrobe.
Structure:
As in
C. andina
except as follows:
Head
: Labrum shorter (length to breadth 11:33), not concave dorsally. Vertex concave. OOC:IOC (9:10). Ratio of pedicel:F1:F2:F3 (5:5:6:6). Flagellomeres slightly longer than broad. Malar space shorter, length:basal depth of mandible (4:7);

C. patagonica
in Tierra del Fuego is approximate.
Mesosoma
: Ratio
of scutellum:metanotum:propodeum (13:7:9). Scrobal groove entire. Ventral surface of metatrochanter acutely angulate in lateral view. Metafemur and metatibia less swollen, length to breadth, (45:21) and (34:10), respectively;
Metasoma
: S1 slightly swollen apically. Apical impressed areas less extensive, less than 0.33 X as long as corresponding tergum. S7 with apical process of ventral lobe somewhat longer than in
C. andina
, dorsal lobe with short setae occupying much smaller portion of dorsal surface, robust seta-bearing ridge parallel to long axis of lobe. S8 with apical process weakly concave but (damaged in sole specimen), lateral lobe large. Genital capsule broadest at apical third. Membranous lobes of penis valve moderately long and moderately broad.
Description: Female:
Length 6.0mm, forewing length 3.0mm, head width
1.7 mm
, intertegular span
1.3mm
.
Colouration:
As in
C. andina
with the following exceptions, pro- and mesotibia brown; T1 dark, rest of metasomal terga orange except suffused with brown on sides of T2-T4 and on T6.
Pubescence:
As in
C. andina
.
Surface Sculpture:
As in male except punctures finer and frons only weakly striate.
Structure:
As in male except as follows:
Head
: Clypeus broader (25:18). Eyes less convergent below (35:33). Ratio of pedicel:F1:F2:F3 (6:5:4:4);
Mesosoma
: Ratio
of scutellum:metanotum:propodeum (13:6:8).
Hind
leg unmodified;
Metasoma
: S1 not swollen apically. Apical impressed areas of terga more extensive, more than 0.33 X as long as corresponding tergum.

FIGURE 8.
Single most parsimonious tree obtained for
Chilioediscelis
with character state changes mapped onto it. Open circles represent homoplasious changes, solid in circles are non–homoplasious changes. Length:103, CI: 69, RI:65. Numbers above internodes are GC values, below nodes bottstrap support.
Etymology:
This species is named for the collector of the earlier specimens, the late Luis Peña, one of Chile’s most renowned entomologists.
