description: Spinoliella rozeni Toro and Ruz   
 Spinoliella (Peniella) rozeni Toro and Ruz, 1972a: 154 (holotype ♂, AMNH, seen: Travesia, Atacama, Chile]).   
DIAGNOSIS: This species can be recognized by the following combination of features: small body size (5–7 mm); mesoscutum and mesocutellum weakly shiny with contiguous, minute punctures or alveoli among larger, sparser, and coarser setiferous punctures; distal margin of mesoscutellum and often entire metanotum yellow; terga with depressed apical margins semitranslucent; female pygidial plate bifid, with lateral margins straight, converging toward apex at a 40° angle; female facial fovea deep, forming a distinct groove, narrow ventrally and dorsally, medially as wide as scape; male facial fovea weakly impressed, about same width across length (about one-third width of scape); metabasitibial plate distinctly depressed on disc and delimited by weak border in female, that of male flat on disc, barely delimited by a border.

DISTRIBUTION: Chile: Tarapacá (R-I); Antofagasta (R-II); Atacama (R-III): Huasco, Chañaral, Copiapó; Coquimbo (R-IV): Elqui.  
 FLORAL RECORDS: Cristaria sp. and unidentified “purple mallow” (Malvaceae); Nolana sp. (Solanaceae).   
 COMMENTS: Both male and female specimens from Los Choros Bajos (R-III) have reduced yellow maculation on the scape, pedicel, pronotal lobe, and metanotum. These male specimens with reduced maculation might be confused with those of S. opaca, but they can be easily distinguished by the characters indicated in the key.
