Remarks: Hypsibius dujardini sensu lato is a species complex ( Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009a ) with an apparent global distribution ( McInnes 1994a ). The taxa within this complex can only be verified by details of claws morphology and other morphometric characters (e.g. Miller et al. 2005 , Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009a ).
