Description
69. Testechiniscus spitsbergensis (Scourfield, 1897) sensu lato [T]
E. (E.) spitsbergenst Scourfield, 1897 (Claps & Rossi 1981)
Terra typica: Svalbard (Spitsbergen) (Norway, Arctic Ocean)
Argentina:
• 43°10′S, 71°36′W; 350 m asl: Chubut Province, Rio Futaleufú, dry, mosses on rocks in the forest. Claps & Rossi (1981) • 48°47′S, 69°11′W: Undefined locality, Santa Cruz Province, Valle de la Florida, lichens on soil and mosses on rocks (2 samples). Rossi & Claps (1989)
Record numbers: Argentina: 2; total: 2.
Remarks: With the exception of the Argentine records, this species has a Holarctic distribution (McInnes 1994a); so we suggest that the records from South America should be re-examined.
