Echiniscus manuelae View in CoL da Cunha & du Nascimento Ribeiro, 1962
Terra typica: Madera Island ( Portugal, Atlantic Ocean).
Material examined: One specimen: El Vado (25°21′54.81′′N, 100°14′02.27′′W, ca. 1411 m asl), Cienega de Gonzalez, Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Moss on tree ( Quercus sp.), coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda, 17 January 2015.
Comments: Our specimens correspond well with the original description (da Cunha & du Nascimento Ribeiro 1962). This species has been reported from the type locality, Madera Island ( da Cunha & du Nascimento 1962; McInnes 1994), Corrientes Province, Bella Vista in Argentina ( Claps & Rossi 1988) and Costa Rica ( Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2010). Kaczmarek & Michalczyk (2010) and Kaczmarek et al. (2014) suggest the possibility that the Costa Rican record, found in a big city, was a non - indigenous to the region, but had been brought to Costa Rica by humans. Our record for this study corresponds to a small town, remote from big cities. This is a new record for Mexico.
