Macrobiotus dianeae Kristensen, 1980 ( Van Rompu et al. 1991a)

Terra typica : Greenland (Arctic)

Tanzania:

• 03°06′S, 37°25′E; ca. 4,250 m asl: Kilimanjaro Region, Kilimanjaro National Park, Kibo trail, below saddle between Kibo and Horombo, above tree line, alpine meadow, dense vegetation, stagnant water (swamp), benthos sample GoogleMaps . Van Rompu et al. (1991a)

• 03°07′S, 37°21′E; ca. 4,000 m asl: Kilimanjaro Region, Kilimanjaro National Park, Barranco trail, above tree line, slow running ice covered brooklet, benthos sample GoogleMaps . Van Rompu et al. (1991a)

Record numbers. Tanzania: 2; total: 2.

Remarks. The African records of this species, all of which lack details of egg structure, appear anomalous alongside the mainly Arctic and sub-Arctic localities in Greenland ( McInnes 1994) and Canada ( Collins & Bateman 2001, Van Rompu et al. 1991b, 2000), and require confirmation.
