A revision of the mutabilis group from Argentinean and Chilean Patagonia is conducted based on the cladistic analysis of the three previously known and seven new species. Diagnosis and phylogenetic relationships for each species are discussed within the cladistic framework. Description, illustrations and photomicrographs based on the examination through binocular compound microscope and Scanning Electron Microscopes are provided. An identification key for males and females of the Patagonian species of the mutabilis group is included.
