Distribution and habitat
editAcmanthina acmanthes occurs in Argentina[2] and Chile,[2] where it has been found in the Valparaiso Region (Quillota Province), the O'Higgins Region (Cachapoal Province), the Maule Region (in the Talca and Curico provinces), the Bio-Bio Region (Bio-Bio Province), the Ñuble Region, the Araucania Region (Cautín Province) and the Los Lagos Region (Llanquihue Province).[4] It has been found at elevations from 300 to 1400 m.[3]
