Abstract

This paper reports two newly recorded species, Isohypsibius lunulatus Iharos, 1966 and Isohypsibius prosostomus Thulin, 1928, of the genus Isohypsibius (Tardigrada; Hypsibiidae) from China. The specimens of Isohysibius lunulatus were collected from Taibai Mt (34°18′N, 107°42′E) at 2,500 m a.s.l. and those of Isohypsibius prosostomus from Taibai Mt (34°10′N, 107°35′E) at 2,000 m above sea level. All specimens are deposited at the College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, China. A key to the Chinese species of Isohypsibius was also given.
