total: 2.
Remarks:
Species reported from
Greenland
(
locus typicus
), Arkansas, Alaska,
Mongolia
(Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2006a,
Land
et al.
2012
,
Johansson
et al.
2013
), and the southern tip of South
America
. Most of the localities have cold climate which may suggest specific habitat preferences, but the highly disjunct distribution could support the South American specimens belonging to a new species (see Michalczyk
et al.
2012a,b for more details).
