Remarks: With the New Zealand reference re-examined and re-attributed (Pilato et al. 2006), this species is only known from type locality and a doubtful site in Greece ( McInnes 1994a). Some authors have suggested this species is a variant of Macrobiotus furciger or M. porteri ( e.g. Mihelčič 1972, Ramazzotti and Maucci 1983), and therefore in need of revision.
