 CHRYSOMETA SIMON, 1895 CHRYSOMETA ACINOSA SP. NOV.   
(FIGS 10B, 11C, 21)  
 Types: Female holotype from Osorno, Puyehue National Park, Chile (FAP0373), two male and three female paratypes, all deposited at the USNM (FAP0374).   
 Etymology: Acinosus means like grapes and refers to the spermathecae shape of this species.   
 Diagnosis: Females of C. acinosa can be distinguished from other Chrysometa species by the grape-clustershaped spermathecae (Fig. 21D), and from C. butamal Levi, 1986 by the constricted median plate (Fig. 21C). Males are distinguished by a massive process on the tibial dorsal margin (Fig. 21G, H).
