Abstract

The genus Parisopalpus Hudson, 1975 originally included three species occurring in Australia and New Zealand. Another hitherto unknown species was collected in Juan Fernández Archipiélago: Isla Robinson Crusoe, which belongs administratively to Chile. It was identified as a member of this genus by the first author of this paper and is described below. No other member of the genus Parisopalpus was hitherto known from South America, although Parisopalpus nigronotatus (Boheman, 1858) has been intercepted in the cargo compartments of airplanes by Chilean biosecurity and identified by the second author of this paper, it is not established in the Chilean fauna.
