Doryphoribius

Tumanov, Denis V., 2005, Notes on the Tardigrada of Thailand, with a description of Macrobiotus alekseevi sp. nov. (Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae), Zootaxa 999, pp. 1-16 : 13

Doryphoribius sp. ( Figs. 48 –53)

Sample 1 (1 specimen).

The single specimen found belongs to the group of Doryphoribius species with three macroplacoids. In having small and poorly developed, typical lunules it differs from all known species of this group. But taking into account that the single specimen found is not in the perfect position on the slide, it could not be described as new species.
