Contents: 2 species, of which both are endemic.
Endemism: 0% 100%
Remarks: Previously included in the genus Homonota (e.g., Kluge 1993). Currently considered a separate genus by most authors (e.g., Abdala 1998; Gamble, Bauer, Colli, Greenbaum, Jackman, Vitt & Simons 2011; Morando, Medina, Avila, Perez, Buxton & Sites 2014; Mella Ávila 2023).

Homonota gaudichaudi klugei Kluge 1991

Remarks: Mella Ávila (2023) suggested that penai is a synonym of gaudichaudii, but molecular confirmation is needed. Presence in Bolivia is regarded as unclear herein. Reported from the country by several authors (all as dorbignii) (e.g., Kluge 1964; Peters & Donoso-Barros 1970; Fugler 1989; Dirksen 1995; Dirksen & Riva 1999; Pincheira-Donoso 2002; Langstroth 2005). However, Mella Ávila (2023) considered gaudichaudii endemic to Chile.
Distribution: Chile.
