Description
Summary:129. Macrobiotus islandicus Richters, 1904e sensu lato [T] Terra typica: Iceland (Europe) Algeria: • 34°40′N, 06°11′E; 0 m asl: Biskra Province, 30 km from Biskra, El Oued [Zeribet el Oued]. Binda & Pilato (1987) Record numbers. Algeria: 1; total: 1. Remarks. This nominal species of the M. islandicus group has a Holarctic distribution (McInnes 1994). While the presence of this taxon in Africa is possible, Binda & Pilato (1987) found only a single egg (with no adults), which they attributed to M. islandicus. To confirm the presence of M. islandicus further study producing more specimens is required. Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
