Abstract

A new semiterrestrial tardigrade, Insuetifurca austronipponica, is described from Kakeroma Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan. This is the third species known for the genus. It is distinguished from I. fujiensis primarily by a narrower buccopharyngeal tube and a longer pharyngeal tube, and from I. arrowsmithi primarily by a microplacoid clearly shorter than the macroplacoids.
