Description
142. Mesobiotus montanus Murray, 1910 [T]
M. montanus John Murr.?1906 (Marcus 1936)
Terra typica: South Island (New Zealand)
Ivory Coast:
• 07°24′N, 07°33′W; 400 m asl: Tonkpi Region, above Man, the Ko, just above the water line of a mountain stream, wet moss on rocks. Marcus (1933)
Record numbers. Ivory Coast: 1; total: 1.
Remarks. This record, of four specimens from a particularly hydric habitat is unusual. Though originally described from New Zealand the (current) global distribution (McInnes 1994a), suggests a species complex for which all records should be re-analysed.
