Remarks. This species is believed to be almost cosmopolitan, however, the locus typicus is in the Arctic and most of the records are from the Northern Hemisphere (Europe and North America) ( McInnes 1994). Echiniscus blumi should perhaps be considered Holarctic, with records from other parts of the world requiring confirmation ( Kaczmarek et al. 2015).
