discussion
Remarks. Hypsibius convergens sensu lato is a species complex (Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009 b) with an apparent global distribution (McInnes 1994), but in urgent need of re-description. Our specimens correspond well to the morphological characters proposed for this species by Miller et al. (2005).
