Abstract
We present new records of the tardigrade Batillipes dandarae Santos, Rocha, Gomes Jr. & Fontoura, 2017 from the north coast of São Paulo state in southeastern Brazil. The species was identified using both light and scanning electron microscopy. This report has a biogeographic importance since we extend this species’ geographic range to two distinct marine ecoregions. The new records are also the first from outside the species’ type locality.
