Hypsibius seychellensis Pilato, Binda & Lisi 2006
Description
Hypsibius seychellensis Pilato, Binda & Lisi, 2006
Material examined: Three specimens from Amarante; one specimen from Parque Biológico (Avintes, Vila Nova de Gaia). All specimens were collected in moss samples and mounted in Hoyer’s medium.
Body length 265.0 - 325.7 µm. The species could be easily confused with H. dujardini (Doyère, 1840), but the metric characters of the bucco-pharyngeal apparatus and claws obtained in the examined specimens match with those attributed to H. seychellensis.
Distribution: Up till now the species was recorded only in Seychelles Islands. This is the first record of this species in Europe.
