Occurrence of Parastygarctus sterreri Renaud-Mornant, 1970 and Halechiniscus perfectus Schulz, 1955 (Tardigrada, Heterotardigrada) at Saint Peter and St. Paul Archipelago, RN, Brazil. Meiofaunistic samplings were carried out in sublittoral soft bottoms from Saint Peter and St. Paul Archipelago (RN, Brazil), resulting in the identification and recording of two species still non-observed in Brazil: Parastygarctus sterreri Renaud-Mornant, 1970 and Halechiniscus perfectus Schulz, 1955. The present study broadens to 11 the number of genera and to 14 the number of species in Brazil.Downloads
