Echiniscus loxophthalmus Richters, 1911c [T] E. loxophthalmus Richt. ( Iharos 1969 ) Terra typica : Norway (Europe) Chile : 18°11′S , 69°13′W ; 4,800 m asl [ 4,550 m asl]: Region XV Arica y Parinacota, Laguna La Cotacotani, leaf litter. Iharos (1969) Record numbers: Chile : 1; total: 1. Remarks: This single Chilean record for E. loxophthalmus is the only report outside the locus typicus of Norway , and therefore the presence of this species in South America is dubious ( Ramazzotti & Maucci 1983 records this species as spec. inquir. ).
