90. Hypsibius arcticus (Murray, 1907a) sensu lato [T]

M. arcticus Murray (Murray & Wailes 1913)

Hypsibius arcticus (John Murr., 1907) Jerez & Narváez (2001)

Terra typica: Franz Josef Land (Russia, Arctic Ocean)

Bolivia:

• 14°49′S, 69°04′W; 11–12,000 ft asl / 3,350–3,650 m asl: La Paz Department, Pelechuco. Murray & Wailes (1913)

Colombia:

• 07°07′N, 73°02′W; 1,795 m asl: Santander Department, El Diviso Natural Reserve, pine forest (Pinus patula). Jerez & Narváez (2001)

Peru:

Record numbers: Bolivia: 1, Colombia: 1, Peru:1; total: 3.

Remarks: Originally described from Franz Josef Land (Murray 1907a) the original description is not sufficient to distinguish this species from a possible species complex (see Dastych 1991). Without re-description of type material the current distribution of this species is questionable.
