摘要
A new tardigrade species, Diphascon (Diphascon) burti, is described from lichens and mosses in New Brunswick, Canada. It differs from other species of the genus Diphascon by the presence of two macroplacoids, a large flared septulum, and a transverse pseudoseptulum. A pseudoseptulum has been reported previously in only one species from Antarctica. The description of D. burti increases the number of Diphascon species recorded from Canada to 15.
