Ramajendas is a genus of water bear or moss piglet, a tardigrade in the class Eutardigrada found in Antarctica. [1] [2]
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 is a genus of tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada.
The Hypsibiidae are a family of water bears or moss piglets, 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.

Eohypsibiidae is a family of water bear or moss piglet, tardigrades in the class Eutardigrada. It contains the following species in three genera:
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.
Macrobiotidae is a family of tardigrade. As of 2023, it consists of the following genera:
Bertolanius is a genus of tardigrades belonging to the family Eohypsibiidae.
