Table 7 in Taxonomic reanalysis of the genus Richtersius (Tardigrada; Eutardigrada), with description of two new species from Italy and Sweden

Table 7 (continued on next page). Measurements (in μm) and pt values of selected morphological structures of hatchlings of Richtersius ingemari sp. nov. Specimens mounted in Hoyer’s medium. Range refers to the smallest and the largest structure among all measured specimens. Abbreviations: N = number of specimens/structures measured; SD = standard deviation. * when N = 1, the mean is the measurement.
