Integrative Descriptions of Two New <i>Mesobiotus</i> Species (Tardigrada, Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae) from Vietnam

Integrative Descriptions of Two New <i>Mesobiotus</i> Species (Tardigrada, Eutardigrada, Macrobiotidae) from Vietnam

To date, 34 tardigrade taxa have been recorded from Vietnam and this includes only two macrobiotid species belonging to the genus <i>Mesobiotus</i>. In this paper, two additional species of this genus, one of the <i>M. harmsworthi</i> group and one of the <i>M. furciger...
