A new eutardigrade, Minibiotus eichhorni sp. nov. is described from moss samples collected in Peru. This species differs from the most similar Minibiotus vinciguerrae Binda et Pilato, 1992 mainly by having shorter, more robust claws, more elongated macroplacoids, smaller body size and narrower buccal tube.
