68. Testechiniscus macronyx ( Richters, 1908a) View in CoL sensu lato [T]

Echiniscus (Echiniscus) macronyx Richters, 1907 View in CoL (de Barros 1942a)

Terra typica: South Georgia (Maritime Antarctic)

Brazil:

• 23°33′S, 46°38′W; 750 m asl: São Paulo State, São Paulo, mosses. de Barros (1942a)

Record numbers: Brazil: 1; total: 1.

Remarks: It is not possible to say whether these Brazilian specimens are Testechiniscus macronyx (as re-described, McInnes 1994b), but description and drawings (de Barros 1942a) suggest this probably belong to either a different Testechiniscus species or even the Echiniscus arctomys group.
