Tardigrades from Nahuel Huapi National Park (Argentina, South America) with descriptions of two new Macrobiotidae species Author Roszkowska, Milena Author Stec, Daniel Author Ciobanu, Daniel Adrian Author Kaczmarek, Łukasz text Zootaxa 2016 4105 3 243 260 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4105.3.2 d0a62707-e9b5-40aa-aed2-ca1b70348a2a 1175-5326 266164 B0FEF435-9EBF-4C91-AFDB-6F616848FD44 Echiniscus bigranulatus Richters, 1908 Localities and number of specimens. II (15), III (10), V (17), VI (8), XVII (2), XX (28) Remarks. The species belongs to a Neotropical and Antarctic bigranulatus group and can be easily mistaken with other members of the group (e.g. Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2006 , 2007 ; McInnes 2009 ). It is widely distributed in South and Central America ( Argentina , Bolivia , Chile , Columbia , Costa Rica , Ecuador and Paraguay ) (Kaczmarek et al. 2014, 2015). It was also reported in Europe, Africa, Indonesia and New Zealand ( McInnes 1994 ), however non-Neotropical-Antarctic reports are probably misidentifications. Thus, all the records prior to 2006 require re-examination to confirm species identification ( Michalczyk & Kaczmarek 2006 ).
