Actual checklist of Tardigrada species

More than one thousand Tardigrada species were included in the published checklist (Guidetti, R. & Bertolani, R. 2005. Tardigrade taxonomy: an updated check list of the taxa and a list of characters for their identification. Zootaxa, 845, 1?46.) plus the additions and corrections to this checklist (Degma, P. & Guidetti, R. 2007. Notes to the current checklist of Tardigrada. Zootaxa, 1579, 41?53.). For practical reasons, we have joined these two papers (without comments added to particular taxa as well as without references published in these papers) into an accurate combined version of the checklists. We incorporated all taxonomical novelties in the current edition of the Checklist even if they were published just online. Then, following the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, we corrected the year of a taxon description in its print edition. This checklist is free for all users, but utilization of it requires the citation of the two original papers. This checklist is the platform for occasional upgrades (date of latest upgrade is in the title). The changings respect to the previous version of the checklist have yellow background. If you also use these changes, please also cite this checklist (Degma, P. & Guidetti, R. Actual checklist of Tardigrada species. DOI: 10.25431/11380_1178608. Accessed date). This checklist collects the taxonomic and systematic information available in the bibliography, so the authors do not necessarily share what is reported in the articles used for the composition of this list. Currently there are 35 families, 164 genera, 1508 species and 16 additional subspecies/forms included in the checklist. Please write us if you find any mistake or missing data in this checklist. Your help in its improvement will be acknowledged.本公开名录（Guidetti, R. & Bertolani, R. 2005. 《缓步动物分类学：类群更新名录及鉴定特征列表》，Zootaxa, 845, 1–46.）共收录千余种缓步动物门（Tardigrada）物种，同时纳入了针对该名录的补充与修正内容（Degma, P. & Guidetti, R. 2007. 《缓步动物当前名录注释》，Zootaxa, 1579, 41–53.）。出于实用考量，我们将两篇文献的内容整合为一份精准的合并名录（未针对特定类群添加注释，也未保留原文献中的参考文献）。我们将所有已发表的分类学新类群纳入当前版名录，即便其仅以线上形式发布。随后，依据《国际动物命名法规》（International Code of Zoological Nomenclature），我们修正了某类群印刷版描述中的发表年份。本名录向所有使用者免费开放，但使用时需引用两篇原始文献。本名录为不定期更新平台（最新更新日期见于标题），相较于此前版本的更新内容将以黄色背景标注。 若您使用了本名录的更新内容，请同时引用该名录原文（Degma, P. & Guidetti, R. 《缓步动物物种现行名录》，DOI: 10.25431/11380_1178608，访问日期需补充）。 本名录汇总了已发表文献中的分类学与系统学信息，因此本名录作者未必认同列表编制过程中所参考文章的全部观点。 当前本名录共收录35个科、164个属、1508个物种以及16个亚种/变型。 若您发现本名录中存在错误或缺失数据，请致信联系我们。我们将对您为完善本名录所提供的帮助致以谢意。
