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).
