D. zappalai ( Garitano-Zavala 1996)

D. zappalai Pilato ( Claps & Rossi 1997)

Terra typica: Italy (Europe)

Argentina:

• 23°08′S, 64°19′W; 350 m asl: Salta Province, Orán [San Ramón de la Nueva Orán], mosses on rock. Claps & Rossi (1984)

• 49°21′S, 72°58′W; 1,000 m asl: Santa Cruz Province, stream near Cerro de los Cóndores, mosses on rock in water. Rossi & Claps (1989, 1991)

Bolivia:

• 16°11′S, 68°35′W; 3,680–4,000 m asl: La Paz Department, Cordillera de la Real de los Andes, Huarina, moorland floor, cushion moss. Garitano-Zavala (1995, 1996)

• 16°13′S, 68°13′W; 4,550–4,700 m asl: La Paz Department, Cordillera de la Real de los Andes, Tuni, subnival floor, cushion moss. Garitano-Zavala (1995, 1996)

• 16°18′S, 68°17′W; 4,300–4,400 m asl: La Paz Department, Cordillera de la Real de los Andes, Wila Kunka, high Andean floor, cushion moss. Garitano-Zavala (1995, 1996)

Uruguay:

• 34°25′S, 57°44′W; 50 m asl: Colonia Department, Riachuelo, mosses or lichens on rocks, trees or posts or aquatic macrophytes. Claps & Rossi (1997)

Record numbers: Argentina: 2, Bolivia: 3, Uruguay: 1; total: 6.

Remarks: This species has a disjunct distribution ( McInnes 1994a) suggesting the need for further taxonomic analysis, especially in the light of numerous recently described new Doryphoribius species. Also, Doryphoribius zappalai was originally described from a riverine habitat and the majority of South American records are terrestrial (see Degma et al. 2009–2014 and key in Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2010).
