Eremobiotus is a genus of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. [1]
The class Heterotardigrada 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 appendices. 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. They have existed for at least 72 million years and they still exist today. The oldest member of Parachela is Beorn.
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.
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 water bear or moss piglet, a 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.
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.
Bryodelphax meronensis is a species of tardigrade in the genus Bryodelphax which belongs to the family Echiniscidae. The species is endemic to Israel and is found in the area of Mount Meron. The species was first described by Giovanni Pilato, Oscar Lisi and Maria Grazia Binda in 2011. The specific name comes from the location where it was discovered.
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 2017, 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 vaskelae is a species of tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada. The species was described from a freshwater sample near Saint Petersburg, Russia. It has wrinkled cuticle and cuticular bars between the bases of its claws on the first four legs. The species most closely resembles Hypsibius marcelli and Hypsibius septulatus, although has a wrinkled dorsal cuticle, thinner claws, and presence of lunules on the claws of all legs.
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.
