Isohypsibius woodsae, a new species of Eutardigrada (Tardigrada) from British Columbia

Abstract

A new species of eutardigrade was found during a study of the tardigrades of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Isohypsibius woodsae n. sp. differs from other species in the genus by the number and arrangement of dorsal gibbosities, reticulated pattern of the cuticle, buccopharyngeal apparatus and claw characters.
