Type
material
Not studied. Identification of this unique species is based on its original description including figures of habitus and genital characters.
Additional material
Not available.
Identification
Easily recognizable due to the remarkable shape of the aedeagal median lobe which is markedly funnelshaped, widening near apex (
Jeannel 1936: 209
). Within the
Trechus
fauna of Mt Chillalo this species is also easily distinguished externally due to the head with small flat eyes and long tempora.
Distribution
Probably endemic to Mt Chillalo; the
holotype
specimen was found at an altitude of approximately
4000 m
(
Jeannel 1936
).
