Hypsibius convergens sensu lato is a species complex (Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009) with an apparent global distribution (McInnes 1994). The taxa within this complex require careful examination, and can only be determined via subtle morphometric details of the claws and other characters (e.g. Miller et al. 2005, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009). The nominal species of the group is either Palaearctic or Holarctic, so (particularly early) African records require re-examination. : Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
