The Afrotropical tardigrade fauna is insufficiently studied, and consequently its diversity in this region is severely underestimated. Ongoing sampling in the Udzungwa Mountains, Morogoro Region of Tanzania has revealed a new representative of the genus C.A.S. Schultze, 1840 (Echiniscidae). sp. nov. belongs to the group, but it stands out from other members of this speciose clade by having a heteromorphic sculpture of the dorsal plates and an uncommonly stable body appendage configuration . The new species is characteristic by being equipped with long dorsal spines and very short lateral spicules, which so far have been found only in one other species of the group, (Doyère, 1840). An updated checklist of Tanzanian Echiniscidae is provided, incorporating recent advances in their classification.
对非洲热带地区的缓步动物群研究不足，因此该地区的生物多样性被严重低估。目前在坦桑尼亚莫罗戈罗地区乌德宗瓦山脉的采样发现了C.A.S.舒尔策属（1840年）（棘影熊虫科）的一个新代表物种。新物种属于该类群，但它通过具有异形的背板雕刻和异常稳定的身体附属结构，从这个物种丰富的分支的其他成员中脱颖而出。新物种的特征是具有长的背刺和非常短的侧刺，到目前为止，仅在该类群的另一个物种（多耶尔，1840年）中发现过这种特征。本文提供了一份坦桑尼亚棘影熊虫科的最新名录，纳入了它们分类方面的最新进展。
