Macrobiotus crenulatus Richters 1904

Description

158. Macrobiotus crenulatus Richters, 1904d sensu lato [T]

Macrobiotus cf. crenulatus Richters, 1904 (Lisi et al. 2014)

Terra typica: Svalbard (Spitsbergen) (Norway, Arctic Ocean)

Colombia:

11°06′20.0′′N, 74°03′50.0′′W; 2,200 m asl: Magdalena Department, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, between La Tagua and Cuchilla de San Lorenzo, sub-Andean forest, moss (Calymperaceae sp.) on rocks (2 samples). Lisi et al. (2014)

Record numbers: Colombia: 1; total: 1.

Remarks: Macrobiotus crenulatus has a Holarctic distribution (McInnes 1994), with the Colombian and Costa Rican (Kaczmarek et al. 2014a) records the most southerly reports. Both reports were based on individuals without the taxonomically distinct eggs and therefore may represent new species.
