"May 27, 1983."

The chilensis group contains those Echemoides species in which the median apophysis of the male palp is bifid. A cladogram, map, key, diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, and scanning electron micrographs are provided for the eight known species, which occur only in northern and central Chile (from Atacama south to malleco provinces) and which are largely or entirely allopatric. The female of E. rossi Platnick and Shadab is described for the first time, and two new species, E. chilensis and E. cekalovici, are described"--P. [1].
