Description

91. Isohypsibius asper (Murray, 1906b) [T]

I. tetradactyloides (Ramløv & Kristensen 1985)

Terra typica: Crozet Archipelago (South Indian Ocean)

Ivory Coast:

• 07°24′N, 07°33′W; 400 m asl: Tonkpi Region, above Man, the Ko, just above the water line of a mountain stream, wet moss on rocks. Marcus (1933)

Morocco:

• 31°35′N, 05°36′W; 1,650 m asl: Souss-Massa-Drâa Region, Todra [Todgha] Gorge, moss from running water (source at the hotel). Ramløv & Kristensen (1985)

Record numbers. Ivory Coast: 1, Morocco: 1; total: 2.

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the original Richters’ (1907b) figures in favour of figures based on his Ivory Coast (Marcus 1933) and previously unpublished Hartz Mts., Germany (Marcus 1936) specimens, which has influenced the understanding and interpretation of I. tetradactyloides of following tardigradologists.
