Abstract
Adropion camtchaticum sp. nov. (Tardigrada: Eutardigrada: Itaquasconidae) is described. The type specimens of the new species were found in a moss sample collected on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The new species is most similar to A. scoticum (Murray, 1905), but clearly differs from the latter in the larger body size, thinner bucco-pharyngeal tube, the presence of teeth in the oral cavity, and toothed bases of claws of all legs. It is the first record of semiterrestrial tardigrades from the continental part of the Russian Far East.
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.
