| Summary: | 68. Mesocrista spitzbergensis (Richters, 1903) [T] Diphascon emmautinum nov. spec. (Rahm 1936) Terra typica : Svalbard (Spitsbergen) Jordan: • 32°02′N, 35°50′E; 950 m asl : Amman Governorate, way to Amman, extreme arid or semi-arid climate. Rahm (1936) Record numbers. Jordan: 1; total: 1 Remarks. Due to the limited original description (Rahm 1936), Ramazzotti (1972) considered this a variant of spitzbergensis . However, recent analysis of M. spitzbergensis and related species (Gąsiorek et al. 2016), indicates this is not spitzbergensis sensu stricto, but could be Mesocrista revelata Gąsiorek et al. , 2016. Further work is required to clarify this record. Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
