Abstract

Bibliographical information on the Tardigrada from Iberian Peninsula, Balearic Islands and Chafarinas Islands is compiled herein. 118 species are listed from the studied area. The first records of six Tardigrada species, Dactylobiotus parthenogeneticus, Dactylobiotus selenicus, Murrayon dianeae, Diphascon (Diphascon) nodulosum (first time in Europe), Diphascon (Diphascon) pingue and Isohypsibius marcellinoi that had not previously been found in the area are included. Bibliography data are analysed. After the analysis, it is concluded that more intensive, extensive and within more diverse habitats sampling effort should significantly increase the knowledge of tardigrade diversity in the studied area.
