Macrobiotus islandicus Richters, 1904a sensu lato [T] Macrobiotus islandicus Richters, 1903 ( Jerez & Narváez 2001 ) Terra typica : Iceland (Europe) Colombia : • 07°07′N , 73°02′W ; 1,795 m asl : Santander Department, El Diviso Natural Reserve, pine forest ( Pinus patula ). Jerez & Narváez (2001) Record numbers: Colombia : 1; total: 1. Remarks: This nominal species of the M. islandicus group has a Holarctic distribution ( McInnes 1994a ). Importantly, a similar subspecies, Macrobiotus islandicus nicaraguensis , is known from Central America ( Kaczmarek et al. 2014a ), thus it is very likely that this single Colombian record belongs to M. i. nicaraguensis or to another species within the islandicus group.
