Table 3 in Integrative taxonomy supports two new species of Macrobiotus (Tardigrada: Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) allowing further discussion on the genus phylogeny

Table 3. Measurements [in μm] of the eggs of Macrobiotus ovovittatus sp. nov.; eggs mounted in Hoyer’s medium; process base/height ratio is expressed as percentage; N: number of eggs/structures measured; range: refers to the smallest and the largest structure among all measured specimens; SD: standard deviation.
