Echiniscus crassispinosus fasciatus Marcus, 1928 sensu lato [T] Echiniscus ( Echiniscus ) crassispinosus fasciatus Marcus, 1913 (de Barros 1942a ) E. ( E. ) crassispinosus J. Murray , forma fasciata Marcus, 1928 (du Bois-Reymond Marcus, 1944 ) Terra typica : Republic of South Africa (Africa) Brazil : • 22°44′S , 45°35′W ; 1,650 m asl : São Paulo State, Campos do Jordão, mosses or aquatic plants. du Bois-Reymond Marcus (1944) • 23°29′S , 46°21′W ; 750 m asl: São Paulo State, Itaquaquecetuba, mosses. de Barros (1942a) • 25°26′S , 49°16′W ; 900 m asl : Paraná State, Curitiba, mosses or aquatic plants. du Bois-Reymond Marcus (1944) Record numbers: Brazil : 3; total: 3. Remarks: As these two Brazilian records are the only reports of this species outside Africa ( McInnes 1994a ) indicate and taking into consideration South American specimens descriptions differ from the original subspecies description ( Marcus 1928 ), they should be probably assigned to a new species (for more comments see Ramazzotti & Maucci 1983 ).
