Abstract Two new species of eutardigrade, Itaquascon unguiculum and Itaquascon cambe‐warrense, are described from Australia. Itaquascon unguiculum differs from the other species of the genus by having small claws with respect to the body size, and in other quantitative characters. Itaquascon cambewarrense is characterised by stylet furcae which are triangular in shape, with apices thickened but not prolonged to form postero‐lateral processes.
