The terrestrial genera Barbaria (13 taxa) and Pseudechiniscus (54 taxa) belong to the family Echiniscidae (Heterotardigrada). In two samples collected in the Cotachi-Caypas Ecological Reserve, specimens of both genera were found. Pseudechiniscus (Pseudechiniscus) goldyni sp. nov. belongs to the suillus-facettalis complex and it is characterised by a unique ventral sculpture, which distinguishes it from all other species described so far. A large population of the species Bar. ganczareki, previously known only from Costa Rica, was also found, which made it possible to delineate this species more precisely. Both species were analysed using integrative taxonomy – a combination of classical morphology and morphometry, as well as genetic data (mitochondrial and nuclear DNA fragments; CO1, 28S RNA).http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2CF2569F-EEB0-4518-8F30-C4D6821BA2D9
