Description

17. Echiniscus crassispinosus Murray, 1907a sensu stricto [T]

E. crassispinosus sp. n. (Murray 1907a)

Echiniscus crassispinosus Murray (?) (Murray 1913)

Echiniscus crassispinosus J. Murray, 1907 (Teunissen 1938)

Terra typica: Republic of South Africa (Africa)

Democratic Republic of Congo:

• 01°17′S, 29°31′E; 1,750 m asl: North Kivu Province, Albert National Park [Virunga National Park], Tshengelero [Tshengere] (swamp N of Munagana), soil. Teunissen (1938)

Kenya:

• 01°15′S, 36°41′E; 2,000 m asl: Kiambu County, Kikuyu, moss. Murray (1913)

Republic of South Africa:

• 29°44′S, 22°44′E: Type Locality: Undefined locality, Cape Colony [Cape Province]. Murray (1907a)

Record numbers. Democratic Republic of Congo: 1, Kenya: 1, Republic of South Africa: 1; total: 3.

Remarks. Originally described from Africa this species also has single reports from Asia, Central and South America (McInnes 1994a, Kaczmarek et al. 2014a, Kaczmarek et al. 2015). The limited early description of E. crassispinosus (Murray, 1907a) requires new material from the type locale to confirm both the species and its biogeographic description.
