Remarks.

The monotypic genus Rhadinosoma is also known to occur only in Chile. It can be easily segregated from the other genera of the Myaptex group by the characteristics presented in the key above, mainly the mystax composed of few sparse macrosetae (Fig. 16 C, D View Figure 16 ) and the vein R 4 ending at wing apex (Fig. 16 B View Figure 16 ).
