grogani Cazorla & Spinelli, 2012a: 87 (male, female). Type locality: Chile, Chiloé, Huillinco. HT M (CNCI). Distr.- Chile, Argentina (Chubut: PN Los Alerces, El Alerzal, 42°36'40.50"S, 71°53'29.78"W). Refs.: Cazorla & Spinelli, 2012a: 87.
Diagnosis: the only patagonian species of Stilobezzia (Acanthohelea) in which males have the distal portions of parameres bifid with both prongs stout and bifurcating at level of the swollen midportion; gonocoxites connected by a tranverse process; female with abdominal segment 8 with a heavily sclerotized quadrate sclerite framing sternite 8 and with a Y-shaped, heavily sclerotized posterior excavation.
