Type locality. Chile.

Remarks. The species has been reported from Argentina and Chile (Metcalf 1963c). It has been reported from Catamarca, Chubut, La Rioja, Mendoza, Santa Cruz, and Tucumán Provinces (Berg 1879; Breddin 1897; Delétang 1919; Hayward 1942; Torres 1944). Torres (1944) argued that previous references to T. chilensis in Argentina were actually references to different or undescribed species. In his revision of the genus, Torres (1958a) records the species as restricted to central Chile and not part of the Argentine fauna.
