Remarks. This species is believed to be almost cosmopolitan, however, the locus typicus is in the Arctic and most of the records are from the Northern Hemisphere (Europe and North America) (McInnes 1994). Echiniscus blumi should perhaps be considered Holarctic, with records from other parts of the world requiring confirmation (Kaczmarek et al. 2015).
