Catanopsobius chilensis
was based on specimens collected in rotting wood at Temuco, CautÃn Province,
Araucania
Region, Chile. At an adult length of
3 mm
, this species may be the smallest lithobiomorph and the small size may account for the reduction in spiracles to pairs only on segments 3 and 10.
