Echiniscus quadrispinosus Richters ( Murray 1913)
Terra typica : Germany (Europe)
Kenya:
• 00°01′S, 37°54′E: Undefined locality, British East Africa [ Kenya], moss. Murray (1913)
Record numbers. Kenya: 1; total: 1.
Remarks. There is considerable morphological variation in the global records of E. quadrispinosus , indicative of a species complex (see: Ramazzotti & Maucci 1983). However, most of the species records are (like the type locality) Holarctic ( McInnes 1994), which suggest that African reports may be correct but, these early reports, require confirmation.
