Scapheremaeus sp.: Norton & Palacios-Vargas, 1996, 87. Scapheremaeus palaciosi Ríos, 1996 , 237, figs. 1–8.

Type depository: Microarthropod collection, Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Nacional Autonómia de México. Type locality: “Los Dínamos”, Mexico City; Popocatépetl Volcano; Nexapa, Amecameca, MEXICO. Habitat: mosses (“Los Dínbamos”; Ríos, 1996), epiphytic mosses and lichens (Popocatépetl; Norton & Palacios-Vargas,

1996), soil under Pinus hartureguii (Nexapa; Ríos, 1996).

Remarks: Norton & Palacios-Vargas (1987) consider this species to be specific to corticolous epiphytes (as opposed to underlying soil and leaf litter) at Popocatépetl.
