Current knowledge on Mexican tardigrades with a description of Milnesium cassandrae sp. nov. (Eutardigrada: Milnesiidae) and discussion on the taxonomic value of dorsal pseudoplates in the genus Milnesium Doyère, 1840 Author Moreno, Antonio Author Roszkowska, Milena Author García, Mario Alberto Author Flores, José Juan Author Kaczmarek, Łukasz text Zootaxa 2019 2019-11-04 4691 5 501 524 journal article 24986 10.11646/zootaxa.4691.5.5 864e2b8d-c2da-4a20-9fbf-02bcb20be24a 1175-5326 3527562 0684AE18-0510-4F7B-B75D-AE5177FBF2A2 Hypsibius cf. convergens Terra typica: Lithuania (Europe). Material examined: One specimen: Sierra Gomas, 3.3 km SW of La Higuera ( 26°22′8.537′′N , 100°29′11.343′′W , ca. 1264 m asl), Villaldama, Nuevo Leon , Mexico . Moss on rock, coll. Manuel Nevarez de los Reyes, 27 July 2014 . Four specimens: El Pilar ( 25°17′23.13′′N , 100°30′13.52′′W , ca. 2973 m asl ), Arteaga , Coahuila , Mexico . Moss on tree, coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda , 14 February 2015 . Comments: Our specimens correspond well with the characteristics mentioned by Miller et al . (2005) , however without a redescription of Hypsibius convergens ( Urbanowicz, 1925 ) , based on type specimens, a correct identification of this taxon is not possible. Hypsibius cf. convergens has a cosmopolitan distribution (Mc- Innes 1994), but it is probably a species complex. In Mexico , this species was reported from Creel, Cuiteco and Temoris in the State of Chihuahua ( Schuster 1971 ). This is a new record for the State of Nuevo Leon .
