Remarks. Taxa identified as Macrobiotus hufelandi sensu lato have a cosmopolitan distribution ( McInnes 1994 ). However, this nominal species and all other hufelandi group taxa require careful taxonomic analysis, including egg morphology, in order to properly differentiate the individual species (see Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993 for the review and for e.g. Pilato et al. 2003b , Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2004c , Fontoura et al. 2008b , Bartels et al. 2009 , Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009b , Guidetti et al. 2013 for new species within the group). These, particularly older, African reports citing the presence of M. hufelandi , need re-assessment using modern integrated taxonomy.
