Diphascon stappersi Richters 1911

Description

87. Diphascon stappersi Richters, 1911b sensu lato [T]

Hypsibius stappersi Richt. (Iharos 1963)

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

Argentina:

• 41°59′S, 71°31′W; 370 m asl: Rio Negro Province, El Bolsón, foot of Piltriquitron Mt., slope above Pampa Azcona, mosses on soil of shrubby area. Iharos (1963)

Record numbers: Argentina: 1; total: 1.

Remarks: A member of the alpinum species group with a type locality on Svalbard, the disjunct distribution of this species includes Arctic, Europe and North America (McInnes 1994a). The Argentinean record pre-dates the modern taxonomic revision (Pilato & Binda 1998), and therefore requires re-examination.
