Abstract

The Chilean species Chilelimnophila lyra (Alexander, 1952), the only included species in the genus Chilelimnophila Alexander, 1968, is redescribed on the basis of new available material from adjacencies of the type locality and other areas. Misinterpretations from the original description are corrected. Adult anatomical structures are described and illustrated in detail, including information on the previously unknown female. Better grounds for the recognition of the taxon are provided.
