Macrobiotus rubens Murray, 1907d sensu lato [T] Macrobiotus rubens Murray (Murray & Wailes 1913 , Heinis 1914 ) Terra typica : Himalayas ( India ; Asia) Bolivia : • 14°29′S , 67°48′W ; 3–7,000 ft asl / 900– 2,150 m asl: La Paz Department, Tuichi valley. Murray & Wailes (1913) Colombia : • 04°54′N , 75°23′W ; 3,600 m asl : Tolima Department, Nevado del Ruiz, W slope near mine, moss ( Brentelia falcatula n. sp. ). Heinis (1914) Record numbers: Bolivia : 1, Colombia : 1; total: 2. Remarks: Macrobiotus rubens has a disjunct distribution ( McInnes 1994a ). However, the Himalayan type locale suggests both reports from South America require re-examination and may represent new taxa.
