Macrochiridothea aff. lilianae View in CoL . — Jaramillo, 1982: 185, fig. 8.

Material. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, IZUA ( 11 specimens, 9.3–11.7 mm).

Diagnosis. Total body length of male 11.7 mm. Dorsal surface of head, pereon and pleotelson smooth. Lateral lobes on head rounded. Coxa 6 reaching posteriorly to pleonite 3. Antenna 1 peduncle, article 2 without anterodistal prolongation.

Distribution. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, 39°S–41°S.

Remarks. Jaramillo (1982) briefly diagnosed a Chilean species similar to the Brazilian species, M. lilianae . He did not specify what he saw as the differences from M. lilianae . The male was illustrated in dorsal and lateral view, plus the antenna 1, pereopod 1 and appendix masculina. The male of this Chilean species is twice as long as the Brazilian M.lilianae , the head is relatively broader and it possesses a longer coxa 6.
