Abstract
The genus Natalocampa has remained a monotypic taxon known only from Natal, South Africa, since its description by Conde in 1951. A second species belonging to this genus, N. mesotrisetosa (n. sp.) is recorded from a Nothofagus forest in southern Chile. The relevance of Diplura to an understnading of austral disjunct distributions is briefly discussed. In addition to Natalocampa, five other genera of Diplura exhibit disjunct distributions on continents in the far southern hemisphere. Eight additional genera are found on only one of the southern hemisphere continents and may eventually be shown to have a disjunct pattern as the fauna become better known.
