Record numbers:
Brazil
: 1;
total: 1.
Remarks:
The species, currently restricted to
Brazil
, has been omitted from modern taxonomic literature since
Ramazzotti (1962b)
though is still included in species lists (e.g.
Assunçäo 1999
).
As
the taxonomic position is uncertain
Macrobiotus sawayai
requires a redescription (indeed, drawings suggested it should be attributed to the genus
Minibiotus
).
