194. Halobiotus arcturulius Crisp & Kristensen, 1983 Halobiotus arcturulius n. sp. (Crisp & Kristensen 1983) Terra typica: Greenland Sea (Greenland, Arctic) Greenland Sea: • 72°12'N, 23°56'W [72°15′N, 23°56′W]; 0 m bsl: [FAO27] Type Locality: Central East Greenland, Sermersooq Municipality, King Oscar Fjord, close to Mestersvig, sandy arctic beach, 5 m from a fresh-water stream, shallow water, sediment. Crisp & Kristensen (1983) Record numbers (Sea/Ocean classification): Greenland Sea: 1; total: 1. Record numbers (FAO classification): FAO27: 1; total: 1. Remarks: Halobiotus species are true secondarily marine species, although a few other eutardigrades are known from river estuaries where the salinity is very low, e.g. Isohypsibius granditintinus Chang & Rho, 1997c (Chang & Rho 1997c). Known only from the type locality, H. arcturulius is very similar to H. stenostomus and some records of this latter species may in fact belong to H. arcturulius (for more detail see remarks for H. ... : Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, Bartels, Paul J., Roszkowska, Milena & Nelson, Diane R., 2015, The Zoogeography of Marine Tardigrada, pp. 1-189 in Zootaxa 4037 (1) on page 161, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4037.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/233519 ...
