219. Dactylobiotus parthenogeneticus Bertolani, 1981 sensu lato [F]

Dactylobiotus cf parthenogeneticus Bertolani, 1981 ( Garitano-Zavala 1995) Terra typica: Italy (Europe)

Argentina:

• 35°25′S, 57°13′W; 0 m asl: Buenos Aires Province, Rincón de Noario, sample of Potamogeton sp.. Rossi & Claps (1991)

Bolivia:

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

Record numbers: Argentina: 1, Bolivia: 1; total: 2.

Remarks: With a narrow Southern European distribution ( McInnes 1994a) these South American reports are anomalous. Dacylobiotus species require careful analysis of both adults and eggs (e.g. Kaczmarek et al. 2012b), and we suggest these reports require further analysis.
