Table 1 List of species and populations used in analyses. Types of analyses: PCM – imaging and morphometry in PCM; DNA – DNA sequencing. The number in each analysis indicates how many specimens were utilized for a given method: ♀ – sexually mature females, ♂ – sexually mature males, j – juveniles, l – larvae, v – vouchers (please note that in some cases, the same specimens were used for both DNA and LCM analyses)

From: The importance of being integrative: a remarkable case of synonymy in the genus Viridiscus (Heterotardigrada: Echiniscidae)
