Remarks: Based on the eggs, Murray (1907c) suggested this species belonged to the Macrobiotus furciger group and the main reports for this species are from the Palaearctic with sites in New Zealand and South America. As the furciger group requires verification ( Binda & Rebecchi 1992 and Binda et al. 2005), the mainly northern Palaearctic distribution suggests this South American record is a misidentification requiring further analysis.
