Butler, 1882: 28–29 (in Hepialidae ) = Philanglaus penai Clench, 1957: 138–139 . MATERIAL EXAMINED: Chile : holotype ( ♀ ) Philanglaus ornatus Butler, 1882 ( Gen. slide № 124) ( NHMUK ) ; holotype ♂ of Philanglaus penai Clench, 1957 , Pichinahuel , 1100–1400 m , 23– 31.I.1954 , leg. L. Peña (slide no. C-514, male genitalia; C. M. Ent. type series no. 327) ( CMNH ) ; 1♂ , Caramavida Araulo, 50 m , 13–14.I.1988 , leg. J. Gonzales ( Genitalpräparat Heterocera № 28.530) ( MWM ) . Reported by Gentili [1989] : 1♂ , Arauco , Pichinahuel , 1100 m , ( Nahuelbuta W. ) 23–31.I.1954 , leg. L. Peña ( MZUC ) ; 1♂ , Loncotripan , Nahuelbuta , 27.I.1952 , leg. G. Monsalve ( MZUC ) ; 2♂♂ , 1♀ , Malleco , Termas de Río Blanco , 1200 m , 13–14.II.1964 , leg. Wagenknecht ( ANIC ) ; 1♂ , 20.II.1955 , leg. Wagenknecht ( MNHC ) ; 2♂♂ , 26.II.1962 , leg. E. Krahmer ( Prep. № PG-248, PG-279, PG-287, PG-304, PG-315, PG-316, PG-333, PG-355) ( IPCN ) . DIAGNOSIS. The species differs from Ph . xylodopoecila in the thinner brown band on the fore wing postdiscally, and in the lanceolate, basally wide harpe, gradually narrowing to apex. DISTRIBUTION. Chile ( Santiago , Cachapoal, Arauco and Malleco Province). Gentili [1989] commented it can be found in forest mixt of Nothofagus Blume ( Nothofagaceae ) and Araucaria Juss. ( Araucariaceae ), between 1100 and 1400 meters above level sea, and between the 33°30´and the 38°30´S , by now only recorded in Chile . NOTE. Zukowsky [1954] describes Langsdorfia xylodopoecila Zukowsky, 1954 , externally similar to the previous species, from southern Peru ( Arequipa Plateau). In the type series Zukowsky includes nine males , wherein the holotype and part of co-types were kept in the Zoological Museum of Hamburg, but in 1943 it was destroyed during the war. Thus, we have a clear evidence of the nomenclature type specimen loss [ Weidner, 1974 ; Penco et al., 2020 ]. Examining the cotype (which we indicate as the neotype ) deposited in MNKB and the supplementary materials from MWM, we established that this little known species also belongs to the genus Philanglaus .
