          Abstract

          Abstract Thick-headed flies (Conopidae) are a family of Diptera with species that are endoparasitoids of bees and aculeate wasps. Physoconops is represented by 64 species in the Neotropical and Andean regions and distributed in many countries. Only 3 species have been described for Chile, specifically from the northern area. In this work, a new species from the Valdivian evergreen forest, Physoconops tentenvilu n. sp., is described and a new key for the Chilean species is provided. In addition, P. tentevilu represents the southernmost record of this genus in Chile. Morphological aspects are discussed, as well as hosts and distribution gaps for the Chilean Physoconops species.

          Resumen Las moscas de cabeza ancha (Conopidae) son una familia de Diptera cuyas especies son parasitoides de abejas y avispas. Physoconops se encuentra representado por 64 especies en las regiones Neotropical y Andina, distribuidas en varios países. Solo 3 especies han sido registradas para Chile, especialmente para la zona norte del país. En este trabajo, se describe una especie nueva del bosque valdiviano siempreverde, Physoconops tentenvilu n. sp., y se presenta una nueva clave taxonómica para los representantes chilenos de este género. Además, P. tentenvilu representa el registro más austral conocido para este género en Chile. Se discuten aspectos morfológicos, así como los huéspedes y vacíos distribucionales para las especies chilenas de Physoconops.

            Biogeographical regionalisation of the Andean region.

            A biogeographic regionalisation of the Andean region is proposed as a hierarchical classification of sub-regions, provinces, sub-provinces and districts. It is based on biogeographic analyses of terrestrial plant and animal taxa, and seeks to provide universality, objectivity and stability. The Andean region is currently comprised of the Central Chilean, Subantarctic and Patagonian sub-regions and the South American transition zone, 15 provinces, five sub-provinces and 81 districts. Complete synonymies and brief descriptions of the areas are provided, as well as the endemic taxa that diagnose the provinces.
