ENGLISH:
This elegant Tenebrionid lives high in the Andes, at 2-3000
mts of altitude, in places that are covered by snow in the
winter. Absolutely nothing is known from its life cycle. The
larvae have been reared just a few months ago in my lab. It
is found from Aconcagua to Talca, always in the Andean side
slopes. The bottom view is from the hills in front of
Santiago city, where it is found over 1700 mts. ESPAÑOL:
Este elegante Tenebrionido vive en la Zona Central y Centro
Sur en laderas de la Cordillera de los Andes, a una altura
de 2000 a 3000 metros, entre Aconcagua y Talca. Este genero
ha sido recien estudiado por G Flores y P Vidal. Su larva
era desconocida pero hemos logrado reproducirlos en
laboratorio y ahora se conoce mas de su ciclo
biologico.
