Diagnosis: The fasciate markings on the elytral disc will distinguish members of this species from P. bicolor , in which elytral fascia are not present (compare Figs 93, 94 ). Figs 69a-69b: ( 69a) Proposed phylogeny of Labasiella species group and related genera. (69b) Bootstrap consensus tree of Labasiella species group and related genera. Description: This species was adequately described and illustrated by SOLERVICENS (1998: 81) . Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in Figs 11, 12 , pronotum as in Fig. 38 , elytral asetiferous punctation striate, epipleural margin serrulate along entire length of epipleural margin, and habitus as in Fig. 93. Variation: Size: Length 4.0-8.0 mm; width 1.5-3.0 mm. The antennae display sexual dimorphism with the capitulum much more developed in males ( Figs 11, 12 ). Distribution ( Fig.70 ): In addition to a paratype I examined 18 specimens from: Chile , Región Coquimbo , Alqui Valley, 21-22-XI-1988 ; Región Coquimbo , Chañarel de Aceituna, 23-25-X-1957 , L. E. Peña; Región Coquimbo , 15 km E Choros bajos, Rio Los Choros, 10-11-XI- 1981 , 300 m, D. & M. Davis. Specimens are deposited in CSCA, MNHN, MNNC, RGCG, USNM, WFBM, and WOPC.
