Abstract
We describe Tenuibiotus yeliseii sp. nov., a new tardigrade species from Svalbard, using morphological and morphometric analyses conducted with the use of light and scanning electron microscopy, as well as genetic analyses based on four molecular markers (three nuclear, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, ITS-2, and one mitochondrial, COI). A phylogenetic analysis of the genus Tenuibiotus Pilato et Lisi, 2011 is conducted using new data. In addition, the taxonomic significance of gibbosities on leg IV as a key character for species identification in Tenuibiotus is discussed. A key to the species of Tenuibiotus is proposed.
期刊介绍:
Zoosystematica Rossica is an international journal for publication of papers on any aspects of systematic zoology, in all groups of animals, both extant and fossil, from all over the World. The journal is published in English and focuses on the descriptions of new taxa, revisions and reviews, nomenclature, theories and methods of taxonomy and phylogeny, interesting new faunal records, catalogues and checklists, identification keys, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeography. Faunistic articles are published in a limited way and only if they contain new records for large geographical regions and are important for zoogeography or taxonomy.
