Echiniscus quadRispinosus Richters ( Murray 1913)

Record numbers. Kenya: 1; total: 1.
Remarks. There is considerable morphological variation in the global records of E. quadrispinosus , indicative of a species complex (see: Ramazzotti & Maucci 1983). However, most of the species records are (like the type locality) Holarctic ( McInnes 1994), which suggest that African reports may be correct but, these early reports, require confirmation.
