Echiniscus merokensis Richters, 1904 View in CoL

Our finding disagrees with Kristensen’s (1987) suggestion about the restricted preference of this species to a soil habitat. This species is considered cosmopolitan ( McInnes, 1994; Fontoura et al., 2008). In Argentina, E. merokensis was previously recorded in Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego ( Claps et al., 2008).
