Material examined. PARALECTOTYPE ♂ of Perla infuscata Blanchard, 1851 , present designation: CHILE ( NMPC, transferred to alcohol vial) (Labels, kept in box IV.17: Museum Paris / Chili / Gay 15-43 (printed); 15 / 43 (handwritten round label); Type (red, printed); Perla / infuscata / Blanc (Blanchard handwritten)) ; PARALECTOTYPE of Perla stictica Blanchard, 1851 , gender unknown, present designation: CHILE ( NMPC, transferred to alcohol vial) (Labels, kept in box IV.17: Museum Paris / Chili / Gay 15-43 (printed); 15 / 43 (handwritten round label); Type (red, printed)).

Remarks. One of the paralectotype of Perla infuscata and one of the paralectotype of P. stictica belongs to this widespread species. The paralectotype of P. stictica is a remnant, consisting only of the head, prothorax, mesothorax, four legs and left forewing ( Fig. 6 ). However, it can be attributed to L. jaffueli on the basis of wing venation.
