Diphascon (Diphascon) patanei Binda & Pilato, 1971 View in CoL
Material examined: Two specimens (body length 127.2 and 204.5 µm) collected from a moss sample at Parque Biológico (Avintes, Vila Nova de Gaia) were mounted in Hoyer’s medium.
Distribution: The species was recorded from various localities of the Mediterranean region ( Italy, Turkey) and from North America.

After this study, 63 limno-terrestrial tardigrade species are recorded for Portugal, including 10 described as new species to science ( Table 5 View TABLE 5 ). However, some records needs to be confirmed. Eventual mis-identifications, already stressed by Maucci & Durante-Pasa (1984c), could have occurred. Macrobiotus echinogenitus Richters, 1904 View in CoL was probably confused with M. harmsworthi Murray, 1907 View in CoL a. Da Cunha (1941) described the observed specimens attributed to that species as having three macroplacoids instead of two. Some years later and without other comments, Da Cunha (1947b) reported the presence of the species in other Portuguese stations. The first records of Macrobiotus harmsworthi View in CoL and M. richtersi Murray 1911 View in CoL are also doubtful because Da Cunha (1948) reported the synonym name M. schultzei Greeff, 1866 . Fortunately, both species have been recorded in Portugal some years later ( Fontoura, 1981). Echiniscus bisetosus Heinis, 1908 View in CoL , according to Maucci (1985), is not a valid species and the specimens attributable to this species belong to other species of the blumi View in CoL group ( E. blumi Richters, 1903 View in CoL ; E. canadensis Murray, 1910 View in CoL ; E. mediantus Marcus, 1930 View in CoL ; E. trisetosus Cuénot, 1932 View in CoL ), all of them already recorded in Portugal. According to Binda & Guglielmino (1982) Echiniscus bisetosus View in CoL , and other elements of the series blumi-canadensis have probably to be attributed to E. blumi View in CoL . Very probably, Bryodelphax tatrensis ( Węglarska, 1959) View in CoL is present in Portugal (the description and pictures of Bryodelphax parvulus Thulin, 1928 View in CoL presented by Da Cunha (1941) seems to match with B. tatrensis View in CoL ). If so, the first Portuguese record of B. parvulus View in CoL must be attributed to Maucci & Durante- Pasa (1984c). On the other hand, Table 5 View TABLE 5 also shows that some Districts are very poorly surveyed and the number of Portuguese species will be probably much higher.
