Hypsibius arcticus (Murray, 1907a) sensu lato [T] M. arcticus Murray (Murray & Wailes 1913) Hypsibius arcticus (John Murr., 1907) Jerez & Narváez (2001) Terra typica : Franz Josef Land (Russia, Arctic Ocean) Bolivia: • 14°49′S, 69°04′W; 11–12,000 ft asl / 3,350–3,650 m asl: La Paz Department, Pelechuco. Murray & Wailes (1913) Colombia: • 07°07′N, 73°02′W; 1,795 m asl : Santander Department, El Diviso Natural Reserve, pine forest ( Pinus patula ).

Remarks: Originally described from Franz Josef Land (Murray 1907a) the original description is not sufficient to distinguish this species from a possible species complex (see Dastych 1991). Without re-description of type material the current distribution of this species is questionable.
