Abstract

"The Falklandius generic group is endemic to the subantarctic dominion of southern South America. Its four genera and ten species (in cladistic sequence) are as follows: Falklandiopsis, new genus (F. magellanica [Morrone], new combination), Telurus Kuschel (T. dissimilis [Fairmaire] and T. caudiculatus, new species), Lanteriella Morrone (L. microphtalma Morrone), and Falklandius Enderlein (F. antarcticus [Stierlin]; F. chilensis, new species; F. peckorum, new species; F. turbificatus Enderlein; F. kuscheli Morrone; and F. goliath Morrone). Keys for identifying the genera and species are provided. Falklandiopsis is described, Telurus is revised, and two new species of Falklandius are described and illustrated. Geographical distribution of the species of the group is included"--P. [1].
