Chileana is a genus of soil centipedes in the clade Linotaeniidae and family Geophilidae[1] found in southern Chile.

[1] Females of this species are about 30mm long, with a pale yellow body and a red head; bearing 12–15 pleural pores; long, tapering antennae with sparse basal sections and rather hairy distal sections; and a labrum with four median tubercles bearing a few cilia on the sides.

Males have 10 pleural pores, thick ultimate legs armed with claws, and 43 leg pairs.

[3] Chileana araucanensis was originally named Linotaenia araucanensis Silvestri, 1899, and it was later moved to the genus Araucania Chamberlin, 1956.

[4] However, Araucania Chamberlin was found to be a junior homonym of Araucania Pate, 1947, and thus was renamed Chileana Özdikmen, 2009.
