Svastrides orellanae

description: Svastrides orellanae (Spinola)
The female of this species has the body almost completely covered by dark brown pilosity. Anterior third of the mesoscutum, propodeum, T1, T2 and lateral area of T4 with white pilosity. The male differs from S. melanura in the clypeus almost completely yellow and white hairs on the head. It also has a tuft of white pilosity on each side of T4 and T5. Illustrations of the male genitalia and other structures of both sexes were provided by Urban (1972).
Svastrides orellanae is distributed exclusively in Chile. There are records of this species only from the Region of Coquimbo: Coquimbo (Toro 1986), La Serena, Río Cochiguaz, Carrizal and El Pangue (Urban 1972). This species visits Melissa officinalis L., Psoralea glandulosa L. (Fabaceae) (Ruíz 1935; Wagenknecht 1970); Prosopis chilensis, Geoffroea decorticans Burk. (Fabaceae), Malesherbia humilis Poepp. (Malesherbiaceae), Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Papilionaceae) and Madia sativa (Compositae) (Wagenknecht 1970).

Alloscirtetica

description: Alloscirtetica Holmberg
The species of Alloscirtetica are distributed exclusively in South America, with known distributional records from Ecuador, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. This genus is particularly diverse in the latter two countries (Urban 1971; Michener 2007).
The species of Alloscirtetica were reviewed by Urban (1971, 1977, 1982, 1999, 2002), who provided diagnoses, floral and distributional records of all known species. Vivallo (2003) revised the Chilean species of the genus, including diagnoses and a compilation of bionomical information and distributional records of all the species occurring in Chile. Due to the absence of new floral or distributional records, and/or biological data of species present in Chile, it is unnecessary to repeat here the information previously provided by Vivallo (2003). The species of the genus present in Chile are: Alloscirtetica antarctica (Holmberg), A. chilena Urban, A. cinerea Michener, LaBerge & Moure, A. frieseana (Herbst), A. gayi (Spinola), A. gazullai (Ruiz), A. herbsti (Friese), A. lanosa Urban (= A. larocai Urban, new synonymy, see below), A. porteri (Ruiz), A. rufitarsis (Bertoni), A. tristrigata (Spinola), A. vagabunda Vivallo, A. valparadisaea (Herbst) (Vivallo 2003; Urban et al. 2007) and A. weyrauchi Michener, Laberge & Moure.

Remarks. The female holotype of this species is described from Tanzania: Kilimanjaro Region, Kibongoto, but the specimen could not be located. The species cannot be positively identified without the holotype. According to Lessert (1919), this species resembles Mystaria rufolimbata in the colour of the legs but differs from it in size and stronger abdominal spots.

Remarks. Two female specimens from Kenya: Nairobi Province, Nairobi (collected in 1944) were listed as belonging to this subspecies, but the material could not be traced. This species could not be positively identified from the original description of Caporiacco (1949). They are probably a variety of a form described by Lessert (1919) having a black abdomen and marginal white spots.
