“…Batillipes is the only genus included in the family Batillipedidae Ramazzotti, 1962 that currently comprises 28 accepted species (Degma et al 2009(Degma et al -2015. Species of the genus Batillipes have been recorded from different marine environments such as macroalgae (Hay 1917), marine caves (Jørgensen et al 2014) and the deep sea (Hansen et al 2001), but they are more commonly found in shallow subtidal and intertidal sandy habitats (Grimaldi de Zio and Gallo D'Addabbo 2001;Gallo D'Addabbo et al 2005).…”

The knowledge of marine tardigrades in the Iberian Peninsula is very scarce in comparison with those from limnoterrestrial environments. As part of an effort to improve the knowledge of marine tardigrades in the Iberian Peninsula, a new species of marine tardigrade, Batillipes minius sp. nov., is described from shallow subtidal coarse sand collected at Moledo, Northern Portugal, close to the mouth of the Minho river. The new species differs from all other Batillipes species by its combination of toe pattern, dorsal and ventral lateral projections, caudal apparatus, cuticle segmentation and the presence of a dorsal indentation in its head. This new species was found in well-oxygenated, shallow subtidal, mediumcoarse sand with low organic matter content.

“…Marine tardigrades are members of the meiobenthic assemblages from the intertidal to abyssal depths (Giere, ). They are mainly found living in sediment interstices (Giere, ) but they can be also found living on barnacles (Chang & Rho, ), mussels (Green, ), polychaetes (Kristensen et al ., ) or macroalgae (Schultze, ; Hay, ). The biodiversity of marine tardigrades has only been extensively studied in a few places [e.g.…”

Information about marine tardigrades in the Iberian Peninsula is very scarce. To improve our knowledge of this group, a sampling programme was started in 2010. The main coastal marine habitats of northern Portugal were explored. Eighteen species were found. Four species are new to science (the previously described Prostygarctus aculeatus Rubal, Veiga, Fontoura & Sousa-Pinto, 2013 and three species of the genus Batillipes), and another four species of the genera Batillipes, Echiniscoides, Halechiniscus and Wingstrandarctus are potentially new species. Moreover, six species (Stygarctus bradypus Schulz, 1951; Halechiniscus greveni Renaud-Mornant & Deroux, 1976; Styraconyx haploceros Thulin, 1942; Styraconyx sardiniae D'Addabbo Gallo, Morone De Lucia & de Zio Grimaldi, 1989; Anisonyches diakidius Pollock, 1975; and Batillipes tubernatis Pollock, 1971) were recorded in the Iberian Peninsula for the first time. Two species (A. diakidius and S. sardiniae) were recorded for the Atlantic Ocean for the first time and the distribution range of S. haploceros and B. tubernatis was extended to the south. The results showed the importance of collecting information from poorly studied regions to achieve a better understanding of the biogeography of marine tardigrades. Finally, intertidal rocky shores were shown to be more diverse than other habitats, probably due to the great habitat heterogeneity.
