Genus: Halobiotus Kristensen, 1982
Species: H. appelloefi (Richters, 1908) comb. nov. et nom. inq., H. arcturulius Crisp & Kristensen, 1983 , H. crispae Kristensen, 1982 , H. geddesi (Hallas, 1971) comb. nov. et nom. inq., H. stenostomus (Richters, 1908) .
Remarks: Although comparative analyses of Hallas (1971) confirmed the validity of Macrobiotus appelloefi Richters, 1908 and Hypsibius geddesi Hallas, 1971 , the two species are designated as synonyms of Halobiotus stenostomus in the current tardigrade species checklist (Degma et al., 2009–18). However, given that both species are insufficiently described, we consider them as awaiting redescriptions to verify the synonymy, staying in agreement with the opinion of the genus authority (R.M. Kristensen, pers. comm.).
