Hypsibius allisoni Horning, Schuster & Grigarick, 1978 [T] Hypsibius allisoni Horning et al., 1978 ( Maucci 1988 , Binda & Pilato 1999b ) Terra typica : South Island , New Zealand (Pacific Ocean) Argentina : • 50°06′S , 73°18′W ; 200 m asl: Santa Cruz Province, Los Glaciares National Park, shores of Argentino Lake, near the Onelli glacier, Nothofagus forests, in the shade, mosses and lichens on trees and rocks.

Remarks: Belonging to the convergens -species complex ( Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009a ), which has an apparent global distribution ( McInnes 1994a ), this species complex requires careful examination as members of this group can only be determined via subtle taxonomic details of claws morphology and other morphometric characters ( e.g. Miller et al. 2005 , Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009a ). Hypsibius allisoni has disjunct Gondwanan distribution, known from New Zealand , Antarctica and South America ( McInnes 1994a ).
