Chilimalopsis parvula - according to Laurence Packer (world's expert on the bees of Chile) this is a range extension of this species, mapped specimens seem to indicate that it mostly have been captured well to the north of Santiago and we spent all our time to the South on the expedition. Anders Croft took the pictures.
