Paramacrobiotus lorenae Biserov 1996

Paramacrobiotus cf. lorenae (Biserov, 1996) Material examined. Two moss samples from Site 5 contained a total of 37 adults (three in the simplex stage) and 26 eggs. Remarks. All morphometric data of these specimens were consistent with Paramacrobiotus lorenae except the annulation of the egg processes was not seen. However, these specimens were different from other species in the P. richtersi group by one or more characteristics. P. lorenae was described from Popov Island, part of eastern Russia, and has so far not been reported from any other location. This is a new record for China.
