Description
Summary:168. Murrayon dianeae (Kristensen, 1982) [F] 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. 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. 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. ... : Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
