A new species, Milnesium kogui sp. nov. is described from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. The new species belongs to the tardigradum group and is most similar, by the claw configuration [2-2]-[2-2], to Milnesium dujiangensis and Milnesium katarzynae. Milnesium kogui sp. nov. differs from M. dujiangensis mainly by the presence of primary branches on all legs and from M. katarzynae by the absence of dorsal sculpture. Additionally, in this paper we present a list of all Milnesium species recorded in Colombia including Milnesium cf. barbadosense Meyer & Hinton, 2012 and M. brachyungue Binda & Pilato, 1990, new additions to the recorded fauna of Colombia.
一种新物种，米尔尼斯缓步虫科吉新种（Milnesium kogui sp. nov.），是从哥伦比亚圣玛尔塔内华达山脉发现并描述的。该新物种属于缓步动物群，通过爪的构型[2-2]-[2-2]，与杜江米尔尼斯缓步虫（Milnesium dujiangensis）和卡塔日娜米尔尼斯缓步虫（Milnesium katarzynae）最为相似。米尔尼斯缓步虫科吉新种与杜江米尔尼斯缓步虫的主要区别在于所有腿上都有初级分支，与卡塔日娜米尔尼斯缓步虫的区别在于没有背部纹饰。此外，在本文中，我们列出了哥伦比亚记录的所有米尔尼斯缓步虫物种，包括2012年记录的疑似巴巴多斯米尔尼斯缓步虫（Milnesium cf. barbadosense Meyer & Hinton）和1990年记录的短肢米尔尼斯缓步虫（M. brachyungue Binda & Pilato），这些都是哥伦比亚记录动物区系的新增物种。
