Abstract

A new eutardigrade, Doryphoribius mexicanus, new species, is described from a moss sample collected in Mexico. The new species is most similar to D. bertolanii Beasley & Pilato, 1987 but differs from it by different configuration and lengths of the macroplacoids, longer secondary branches of claws in the respect to the primary branches and some other morphometric characters.
