0E697849C56D9C7FEECB18674ED4F2FC.taxon	description	Description (measurements in Table 1). Adults. Body transparent / white (after preparation), eyes present in 6 of 15 (40 %) specimens mounted in Hoyer's medium (Fig. 1). Dorsal cuticle sculptured: from head to legs II without tubercles but clearly thickened, from legs II to the caudal end of the body (including legs IV) with irregular tubercles and platelets. Tubercles increasing in size from the anterior to the posterior part of the body, reaching maximum dimensions between legs III and IV, where tubercles sometimes merge and form irregular platelets (Figs 2 - 5). Irregular tubercles 1.0 - 6.0 μm in diameter. Ventral cuticle smooth (i. e. without sculpturing). Gibbosities and cuticular pores absent. Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Hypsibius type, without the ventral lamina, and with forked apophyses for stylet muscles (Fig. 6). Peribuccal lamellae absent. Teeth in the oral cavity armature absent or not visible under PCM. Pharyngeal bulb with apophyses and with two granular macroplacoids (both, without constrictions). Macroplacoid length sequence 2 <1. Microplacoid and septulum absent. Claws of the Hypsibius type, internal claws much smaller and of a different shape than the external claws (Fig. 7). All main branches with large accessory points. Smooth, indistinct areoles under claws usually visible only on posterior claws IV. Cuticular bars under claws I-III absent but a small bar is present near the posterior claw IV (Fig. 7, arrow). Eggs. Unknown.	en	Zawierucha, Krzysztof, Dziamiecki, Jakub, Jakubowska, Natalia, Michalczyk, Lukasz, Kaczmarek, Lukasz (2014): New tardigrade records for the Baltic states with a description of Minibiotus formosus sp. n.

9176189ED86E6E0EF467347088F70490.taxon	description	Description (measurements in Table 2). Body white / colourless (Fig. 8). Eyes present in 18 of 24 (75 %) specimens mounted in Hoyer's medium. Entire cuticle covered with small (0.4 - 1.1 μm) and large (1.9 - 2.5 μm) round or oval pores (Fig. 9). Pores arranged in 9 - 10 poorly defined transverse bands. Pores on the dorsal cuticle arranged more densely than on the ventral cuticle. A single large pore (diameter: 2.1 - 2.9 μm) present on external side of legs I-III (Fig. 12, arrow). A ring of pores around the mouth opening absent. Cuticle without granulation, except for legs which are all covered with fine and regular granulation (better developed on legs IV) visible only in larger specimens (Fig. 12, arrowhead). Mouth antero-ventral. Ten peribuccal papulae present. Bucco-pharyngeal apparatus of the Minibiotus type (Figs 10 - 11). Oral cavity armature absent or not visible under PCM. Buccal tube with a poorly visible ventral lamina and with an anterior and a posterior bend (both visible in lateral view only, Fig. 11). Buccal tube walls thickened just below the stylet supports insertion point. Pharyngeal apophyses triangular, very near to the first macroplacoid. Three granular macroplacoids and a minute microplacoid present in the pharyngeal bulb. All macroplacoids of similar but not identical sizes, the macroplacoid length sequence: 2 <1 <3. Septulum absent. Claws of the Macrobiotus type (Figs 12 - 13). Primary branches of claws with thin, but obvious accessory points detaching at the apogee of the primary branch curve. Smooth lunules present on all legs, distinctly larger under external and posterior claws. Bars and other cuticular thickenings on legs absent. Eggs (measurements in Table 3). White / transparent, laid freely (Fig. 14). Spherical, without areolation. Processes in the shape of short, smooth, slightly flexible cones (Fig. 15). Processes are distributed on the surface of the egg close one to another but never in contact. Surface between processes smooth under PCM (Fig. 15).	en	Zawierucha, Krzysztof, Dziamiecki, Jakub, Jakubowska, Natalia, Michalczyk, Lukasz, Kaczmarek, Lukasz (2014): New tardigrade records for the Baltic states with a description of Minibiotus formosus sp. n.

9176189ED86E6E0EF467347088F70490.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Given that we found the composition of small and large pores in the new species beautiful, we decided to name the animal after this impression (in Latin ' formosus' means ' beautiful').	en	Zawierucha, Krzysztof, Dziamiecki, Jakub, Jakubowska, Natalia, Michalczyk, Lukasz, Kaczmarek, Lukasz (2014): New tardigrade records for the Baltic states with a description of Minibiotus formosus sp. n.
