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.
