Hypsibius dujardini sensu lato is a species complex (Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009) with an apparent global distribution (McInnes 1994). Taxa within this complex require careful examination, and can only be determined via subtle details of claw and other morphometric characters (e.g. Miller et al. 2005, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009). The nominal species of the group is Palaearctic or Holarctic, and hydrophilic. African records may require closer examination to verify potential new members of this species complex. : Published as part of Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2017, Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada.
