190. Macrobiotus tehuelchensis Rossi, Claps & Ardohain, 2009 [T]

Macrobiotus tehuelchensis sp. nov. ( Rossi et al. 2009)

Terra typica: Argentina (South America)

Argentina:

• 39°08′S, 71°17′W; 1,000 m asl: Type Locality: Neuquén Province, Aluminé Ñorquinco Lake, moss and lichen on soil. Rossi et al. (2009)

Record numbers: Argentina: 1; total: 1.

Remarks: Currently endemic to Argentina, this species belongs to the Macrobiotus harmsworthi group, which requires a careful examination to ensure correct identification (see Kaczmarek et al. 2011 for a diagnostic key to the group). It is very similar to M. szeptyckii (see remarks above for M. szeptyckii ).
