Abstract
Two new species of eutardigrades, Macrobiotus nelsonae and Murrayon stellatus, collected in Tennessee, U.S.A., are described. Macrobiotus hibernicus and Macrobiotus dianeae, related to M. stellatus, are re-examined and ascribed to the genus Murrayon on the basis of the claw type and the presence of a ventral hook on the strengthening bar. A dichotomous key to the genus Murrayon is proposed.
