Paratypes of Gabrius chiliensis ( Fig. 12): 3, with labels: “Cord. Chillan”, “Germain / 1899”, “ PARATYPE ”, “ Gabrius chiliensis Coiff. et Saiz ”, “ Chile Tipo No 2238”; Ƥ, with labels: “Germain / 1899”, “ PARATYPE ”, “ Gabrius chiliensis Coiff. et Saiz ”, “ Chile Tipo No 2245” ( MNNC).

Diagnosis. See Smetana (1995: 619).

Comments. I was not able to see the holotype of G. chiliensis , deposited in the FSC, but I could study paratypes from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (MNNC). The types of G. nigritulus and G. chiliensis are similar in external characters and identical in the shape of the aedeagus. These names are considered to be synonyms.
