Description
Summary:129. Macrobiotus islandicus Richters, 1904e sensu lato [T] Terra typica: Iceland (Europe) Algeria: • 34°40′N, 06°11′E; 0 m asl: Biskra Province, 30 km from Biskra, El Oued [Zeribet el Oued]. Binda & Pilato (1987) Record numbers. Algeria: 1; total: 1. Remarks. This nominal species of the M. islandicus group has a Holarctic distribution (McInnes 1994). While the presence of this taxon in Africa is possible, Binda & Pilato (1987) found only a single egg (with no adults), which they attributed to M. islandicus. To confirm the presence of M. islandicus further study producing more specimens is required. ... : Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
