Holotype: ♂ . Chile , Prov.LosAndes , Salto del Soldado , 32°55'S y 70°23'W , 2300 msnm, 23 km SE de Los Andes , V Region, J. Solervicens (MNNC). Allotype and 10 paratypes . Allotype and 9 paratypes from the same locality as the holotype . 1 paratype from: Chile , P. N. La Campana , sector Ocoa , V Región , en bosque quemado, 5-XI-1986 , C. Vivar . Allotype and 5 paratypes in MNNC. 5 paratypes in UMCE. Diagnosis: The elytral white transverse fascia, bordered by intensely black markings, will conveniently diagnose the members of this species. Description: This species was adequately described and illustrated by SOLERVICENS (1998: 82) . Additional characteristics involve: Antenna as in Figs 26, 27 , pronotum as in Fig. 52 , elytral asetiferous punctation striate, epipleural margin not serrulate near elytral apex, habitus as in Fig. 82 , and aedeagus as in Fig. 101.
