Description
Summary:41. Pseudechiniscus facettalis Petersen, 1951 sensu lato [T] Pseudechiniscus suillus (Ehrenberg, 1853) forma facettalis Petersen, 1951 (Haspeslagh 1982) Terra typica : Greenland Kenya: • 00°10′S, 37°18′E; 4,270 m asl: Nyeri County, Mount Kenya National Park, Mount Kenya, Teleki Tarn, small effluent and shallow pond, silt, sediments and sandy gravel. Haspeslagh (1982) Tunisia: • 36°43'19''N, 08°43'30''E; 474 m asl: Jendouba Governorate, Beni M'tir, forest, moss on soil. Gąsiorek et al. (2017) Record numbers. Kenya: 1, Tunisia: 1; total: 2. Remarks. A widespread taxon (McInnes 1994a), in the suillus species complex. Only two individuals were identified in Kenyan samples and from a non-typical (aquatic) habitat, which coupled with the type locality (Greenland) indicates this African record requires re- examination.
