First record of Tetrabdella neotropica Hernandes & Feres (Trombidiformes: Bdellidae) from México

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The species T. neotropica is found at the furthest point of the Neotropical region in the Gulf of Mexico province (Morrone et al. 2017). However, the genus Tetrabdella, has also been reported in the north of the country in oligotrophic soils of the Cuatro Ciénegas Valley in Coahuila (García-Ayala et al. 2020), belonging to Chihuahua Desert Province (Morrone et al. 2017). However, it has not been possible to verify whether we are talking about T. neotropica or a different species. The same seems to happen with a record of a species close to T. neotropica reported for South Africa; which suggests that it could possibly be a genus with a wider distribution and represented by more than one species (Hernandes et al. 2016).
