Abstract

Abstract. In a moss sample from Cameroon a few specimens and eggs of a new species of tardigrade were found. Macrobiotus stanislausi sp. nov. belongs to the Macrobiotus nelsonae morpho-group and is most similar to Mac. ragonesei. However, it differs from Mac. ragonesei mainly by the shape of the egg processes and the absence of annulations on process endings. A dichotomous key for Macrobiotus nelsonae morpho-group is also proposed. Moreover, the genus Macrobiotus is divided into 12 morpho-groups based on morphology of the eggs to facilitate future taxonomic research on this genus.

摘要在喀麦隆的一个苔藓样本中，发现了一种新的缓步动物的一些标本和卵。stanislausi sp. 11 .属于nelsonae macrobitus形态群，与macs . ragonesei最相似。然而，它与macs . ragonesei的不同之处在于卵突的形状和卵突末端没有环。此外，还提出了一种巨鳄形态群的二分类键。此外，根据卵的形态将其划分为12个形态类群，以方便今后对该属的分类研究。
