abstract in English:	A new eutardigrade, Minibiotus constellatus n. sp. is described from samples of moss collected in Peru. This species is similar to Minibiotus sidereus PILATO et al., 2003 in having large star-shaped, as well as small round pores over the cuticle. Nevertheless, M. constellatus n. sp. differs from M. sidereus in having thinner lateral thickenings in the buccal tube, the presence of five pores around the mouth and fine granulation around the claws of at least II-IV pairs of legs.
