Diphascon emmautinum nov. spec. ( Rahm 1936) Terra typica : Svalbard (Spitsbergen)

Jordan:

• 32°02′N, 35°50′E; 950 m asl: Amman Governorate, way to Amman, extreme arid or semi-arid climate. Rahm (1936)

Record numbers. Jordan: 1; total: 1

Remarks. Due to the limited original description ( Rahm 1936), Ramazzotti (1972) considered this a variant of spitzbergensis . However, recent analysis of M. spitzbergensis and related species ( Gąsiorek et al. 2016), indicates this is not spitzbergensis sensu stricto, but could be Mesocrista revelata Gąsiorek et al., 2016 . Further work is required to clarify this record.
