Description
Summary:21. Echiniscus kerguelensis Richters, 1904a sensu lato [T] E. (E.) keRguelensis Richters 1904 (Marcus 1936) Terra typica: Kerguelen Island (South Indian Ocean) Namibia: • 20°28′S, 16°39′E; 1,600 m asl [1,500 m asl]: Otjozondjupa Region, Otjiwarongo. Marcus (1936) Record numbers. Namibia: 1; total: 1. Remarks. The record for three eggs in exuvia and a two clawed juvenile, suggests a tentative identification. Originally described from the Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, this species requires a redescription from the type locality before the various records attributed to this species can be clarified.
