Remarks. Hypsibius pallidus sensu lato is a possible species complex that can be confused with H. microps and species in the Hypsibius convergens - dujardini complexes. As such, these species require careful examination. Originally described from Sweden, Hypsibius pallidus is a common Holarctic species but also reported from non-European localities ( McInnes 1994).
