Original reference:
First record of this species for
Isla
Mocha
.
Comments: Common species in the Valdivian forest. In
Chile
it is distributed between the provinces of Ñuble and
Magallanes
; in
Argentina
, it is found in the
Isla
Grande de Tierra del Fuego (González 2006).
Summary:
This is the first report of
Coccinellidae
species in the island. They are also present on the mainland in the adjacent province of
Arauco
, which has similar vegetation with the island. Therefore, other species from this area are predicted to be also present on the island.
