Description
183. Macrobiotus punctillus Pilato, Binda & Azzaro, 1990 [T]
Macrobiotus punctillus n. sp. (Pilato et al. 1990)
Macrobiotus punctillus Pilato et al. 1990 (Binda & Pilato 1999b)
Terra typica: Chile (South America)
Chile:
• 53°08′S, 70°54′W; 0 m asl: Type Locality: Region XII Magallanes (Región de Magallanes y de la Antártica Chilena), near Punta Arenas, mosses. Pilato et al. (1990)
• 53°38′S, 70°59′W; 50 m asl: Region XII Magallanes (Región de Magallanes y de la Antártica Chilena), San Juan (Punta Arenas), mosses on soil. Binda & Pilato (1999b)
• 55°14′S, 66°33′W; 200 m asl: Tierra del Fuego Province, Isla Nueva, mosses on soil. Binda & Pilato (1999b)
Record numbers: Chile: 3; total: 3.
Remarks: This species is currently endemic to Chile and belongs to the persimilis subgroup (with smooth egg shell) within the hufelandi group. This group requires careful taxonomic analysis, including egg morphology, to differentiate the individual species (Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993; new species within this group: e.g. Pilato et al. 2003b, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2004, Fontoura et al. 2008, Bartels et al. 2009, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009b, Guidetti et al. 2013).
