Eremobiotus is a genus of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. [1]
Heterotardigrades (Heterotardigrada) is a class that includes tardigrades that have cephalic appendages and legs with four separate but similar digits or claws on each. 444 species have been described.
Eutardigrada are a class of tardigrades (Tardigrada) without lateral appendages. Primarily freshwater bound, some species have secondarily gained the ability to live in marine environments (Halobiotus). By cryptobiosis many species are able to live temporarily in very dry environments. More than 700 species have been described.
Hypsibius dujardini sensu lato is a species complex of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. A member of this complex, Hypsibius exemplaris, is widely used for various research projects pertaining to evolutionary biology and astrobiology.
Echiniscus testudo is a cosmopolitan species of tardigrade.
Hypsibius is a genus of tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada.
Parachela is an order of tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada. Members of this order have existed for at least 72 million years, up to the present. The oldest known species are Beorn leggi and Aerobius dactylus.
Pseudobiotus is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Ramazzottius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Ramajendas is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada found in Antarctica.
Mixibius is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Parascon is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Itaquascon is a genus of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada.
Milnesium is a genus of tardigrades. It is rather common, being found in a wide variety of habitats across the world. It has a fossil record extending back to the Cretaceous, the oldest species found so far is known from Turonian stage deposits on the east coast of the United States. Milnesiums are one of the most desiccation and radiation-resistant invertebrates on Earth because of their unique ability to transform into a "tun" state and utilize intrinsically disordered proteins when experiencing extreme environments.
Milnesium antarcticum is a species of Eutardigrades in the family Milnesiidae. This species differs from its cogenerate species mainly by proportions of its claws and buccopharyngeal apparatus.
Milnesium reductum is a species of Eutardigrades discovered by zoologist Denis. V. Tumanov in 2006. This species of Tardigrade is part of the family Milnesiidae. This species differs from its cogenerate species mainly by proportions of its claws and buccopharyngeal apparatus.
Diphascon faialense is a species of tardigrade in the genus Diphascon of the family Hypsibiidae and the subfamily Diphasconinae. The species is endemic to the Azores. The species was first described and named by Paulo Fontoura and Giovanni Pilato in 2007. The specific name refers to Faial Island, on which it was found.
Macrobiotidae is a family of tardigrade. As of 2023, it consists of the following genera:
Macrobiotus shonaicus is a species of tardigrade in the family Macrobiotidae. As of 2018 it is only known from its type locality: Tsuruoka, Japan. The species description was published in 2018. The insides of their first three pairs of legs have a slight fold above their claws, and their eggs have processes whose terminal discs split off into thin filaments.
Hypsibius septulatus is a species of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. The species is only known to be found in Peru. Hypsibius septulatus has unsculptured cuticles with around 22 dorsal undulations. It has two macroplacoids and a septulum on the first three pair of legs.
Bertolanius is a genus of tardigrades belonging to the family Eohypsibiidae.
