Remarks
- Systematics: Chilechiton is closely related to the New Zealand genus Eriochiton (Hodgson & Miller, 2002). Adult females of Chilechiton are similar to those of Eriochiton and Neoeriochiton in having the vulva situated between segments VI and VII, macrotubular ducts absent, abdominal multilocular sessile pores arranged in mediolateral lines on abdomen, a distinct anal cleft, an invaginated anal ring, the labium appearing two-segmented but with a small additional basal third segment, four setae on each meso- and metatibia but with five setae on the protibia and five setae on each femur. The genera may be separated by Chilechiton having six-segmented antennae; no multilocular sessile pores between the anterior spiracle and the body margin, no setose dorsal setae, no cruciform pores, a pattern of C-shaped or irregular marks on the anal lobes, one claw digitule enlarged and the other not, posterior suranal setae enlarged, not spatulate, multilocular sessile pores spread over medial and mediolateral areas of abdominal venter, and no enlarged marginal setae on margins of anal cleft. Adult female Chilechiton are also similar to those of Icelococcus because both have the vulva situated between segments VI and VII, a medial plate located dorsad of the anal ring, a similar arrangement of dorsal and marginal enlarged setae and large indistinct translucent pores (Hodgson & Miller, 2002).
- Structure: Adult female dorsum with body outline nearly round. Derm membranous, possibly becoming mildly sclerotized at maturity. Setae of enlarged type only; setose setae lacking. Microtubular ducts present; without other kinds of pores or ducts. With 2 lateral, heavily sclerotized, platelike anal lobes, when together, quadrate; each with poitned apices, withdrawn onto dorsal surface (Hodgson & Miller, 2002).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of adult female and first-instar nymphby Hodgson & Miller, 2002).
