Description
191. Macrobiotus virgatus Murray, 1910 sensu lato [T]
M. virgatus Murray (Murray & Wailes 1913)
Terra typica: Vancouver Island (Canada; North America)
Peru:
• 14°19′S, 69°28′W; 7,000 ft asl/ 2,200 m asl: Puno Region, Sandia. Murray & Wailes (1913)
Record numbers: Peru: 1; total: 1.
Remarks: The species with an uncertain diagnosis is currently reported from several disjunct Northern and Southern hemispheres localities (McInnes 1994a), which suggest a species complex. This Peruvian record requires confirmation via modern taxonomy.
