Remarks: For over 150 years Milnesium was considered to be a monotypic, highly cosmopolitan genus. However, current research recognises over twenty congeners and suggests that Milnesium tardigradum sensu stricto is limited to the Palaearctic (see: Michalczyk et al. 2012a,b). All South American reports for M. tardigradum predate the re-description of M. tardigradum sensu stricto (Michalczyk et al. 2012a, b) and therefore these records should be considered dubious and require re-examination using modern taxonomy. Currently there is no evidence that M. tardigradum s. s. occurs in South America, and the above list probably represents a number of different Milnesium species (Michalczyk et al. 2012a,b).
