Comment:
Comments: Waterhouse never designated a type specimen, which was finally designated by Thomas (1917a). Waterhouse's original type locality was "from Chile", but in 1848 he added that the locality was from the Valle de las Cuevas near the Volcano of Peteroa, which would make the locality in Argentina (Pearson, 1984). Karyotype has 2n=56 and FN=108 (Gallardo and Reise, 1992)
