描述了先前单一特异性海洋缓步动物科 Neostygarctidae 的一个新物种。 Neostygarctus 爱豪华 n. sp。是在日本宫古群岛的海底洞穴中发现的。这是来自太平洋的新斯汀科 (Neostygarctidae) 的首次记录。通过背刺的数量，这个新物种很容易与先前已知的棘甲猪笼草区别开来，因为爱情猪笼草的三个背体板上各有两个刺，而棘甲猪笼草只有一个。此外，首次报道了新斯提科（Neostygarctidae）中的二爪幼虫的形态，为一些个体性状的共同序列提供了新的见解。
A new species of the previously monospecific marine tardigrade family Neostygarctidae is described. Neostygarctus lovedeluxe n. sp. was found from a submarine cave in Miyako Islands, Japan. This is the first record of Neostygarctidae from the Pacific. The new species is easily distinguished from the previously known N. acanthophorus by its number of dorsal spines, as N. lovedeluxe has two spines each on the three dorsal body plates in contrast to one in N. acanthophorus. Furthermore the morphology of the two clawed juvenile is reported for the first time in Neostygarctidae, providing new insights into the common sequence in some ontogenic traits.
