KACZMAREK, Łukasz; DIDUSZKO, Dawid  and  MICHALCZYK, Łukasz. New records of Mexican Tardigrada. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2011, vol.82, n.4, pp.1324-1327. ISSN 2007-8706.

In 9 moss samples collected from Mexico, 6 tardigrade species, including 4 new records for the country, were found. The new records raise the number of known Mexican water bear species to forty-one. We provide a full list of the known Mexican tardigrade species and discuss some biogeographical and taxonomic issues.

Keywords : Heterotardigrada; fauna.
