(Figs. 9, 10, 27, 28, 44, 45).
Diagnosis. Glorita nahuelbutensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from the other species of the genus by the shape of the valva, the scobination of gnathos and the structure of the cornuti in the male genitalia, and in the female genitalia by the degree of sclerotization of the ductus bursae. In G. nahuelbutensis the gnathos has sharp spines and the valva curves dorsally, the vesica has a group of needle-like cornuti; in the female only the posterior portion of the ductus bursae is sclerotized. In G. colchahuensis the teeth of the gnathos are subtriangular and short, the valva is slightly curved, and the vesica has a single cornutus one fifth of as long as phallus, in the female there is a cestum at the posterior end of the ductus bursae. In G. curicoensis Urra, 2014, the teeth of the gnathos have the shape of a sharp spine, the valva is wider towards the cucullus, the vesica has grouped cornuti; in the female the posterior half of the ductus bursae is sclerotized; in G. olmuensis Urra, 2016 the teeth of the gnathos also have the shape of a sharp spine, the valva has an almost uniform width, the vesica has a cornutus half as long as phallus; in the female the posterior two-thirds of the ductus bursae is sclerotized (Urra 2013a, 2014b, 2016a).
