Description

155. Macrobiotus anderssoni Richters, 1908a [T]

Macrobiotus anderssoni n. sp. (Richters 1908a)

Terra typica: Argentina (South America)

Argentina:

• 54°46′S, 68°12′W; 150 m asl: Type Locality: Tierra del Fuego Province, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, Rio Olivia. Richters (1908a)

• 54°47′S, 68°23′W; 800 m asl: Type Locality: Tierra del Fuego Province, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, mountain region of Ushuaia. Richters (1908a)

• 54°48′S, 68°18′W; 50 m asl: Type Locality: Tierra del Fuego Province, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, valley. Richters (1908a)

• 54°50′S, 68°34′W; 0 m asl: Type Locality: Tierra del Fuego Province, Tierra Mayor (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego), near Roca Lake. Richters (1908a)

Record numbers: Argentina: 4; total: 4.

Remarks: With the New Zealand reference re-examined and re-attributed (Pilato et al. 2006), this species is only known from type locality and a doubtful site in Greece (McInnes 1994a). Some authors have suggested this species is a variant of Macrobiotus furciger or M. porteri (e.g. Mihelčič 1972, Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983), and therefore in need of revision.
