129. Macrobiotus islandicus Richters, 1904e View in CoL 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.
