Remarks. Dastych (2016) has re-described I. tetradactyloides (Richters, 1907b) as the junior synonym of I. asper (Murray, 1906b). Dastych (2016) noted that the Marcus (1936) had dropped the original Richters’ (1907b) figures in favour of figures based on his Ivory Coast (Marcus 1933) and previously unpublished Hartz Mts., Germany (Marcus 1936) specimens, which has influenced the understanding and interpretation of I. tetradactyloides of following tardigradologists.
