( Fig. 3D )

Adineta steineri Bartoš 1951: 478 – Donner 1965: 270, Kutikova 2005: 271

Notes. The species is easily identifiable because of long bristles on the trunk ( Fig. 3D ). A. steineri is widely distributed outside Antarctica, but was found at the continent, too (Sohlenius et al. 1996; Sohlenius & Bostrőm 2005).
