Table 2 in Integrative taxonomy supports two new species of Macrobiotus (Tardigrada: Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) allowing further discussion on the genus phylogeny

Table 2. Measurements [in μm] and pt values of selected morphological structures of animals of Macrobiotus ovovittatus sp. nov.; specimens mounted in Hoyer’s medium; N: number of specimen/ structures measured; range: refers to the smallest and the largest structure among all measured specimens; SD: standard deviation.
