Trechus scotti Jeannel, 1936 Trechus (s. str.) scotti Jeannel, 1936: 208; locus typicus: Mt Chillalo, alt. approx. 4000 m. Trechus scotti – Ortuño & Novoa 2011: 137. Type material Not studied. Identification of this unique species is based on its original description including figures of habitus and genital characters. Additional material Not available. Identification Easily recognizable due to the remarkable shape of the aedeagal median lobe which is markedly funnelshaped, widening near apex (Jeannel 1936: 209). Within the Trechus fauna of Mt Chillalo this species is also easily distinguished externally due to the head with small flat eyes and long tempora. Distribution Probably endemic to Mt Chillalo; the holotype specimen was found at an altitude of approximately 4000 m (Jeannel 1936).
