Plant association:
Several specimens associated with

It had been considered that the distribution of
A. delfini
includes Maule and the Magellanic forest biogeographical provinces (
Morrone & Roig-Juñent 1995
,
2000
). However,
Elgueta (2000)
considered that
A. delfini
is endemic to the Magellanic forest and that its records from Maulean areas are incorrect.
