The two main classes are separated on the basis of taxonomic characters of the claws and/or sucking disks, cuticle, cephalic appendages, buccal apparatus, and reproductive structures.
The class Heterotardigrada is characterized by the presence of cephalic, trunk and leg appendages; gonopore separated from anus; Malpighian tubules lacking; placoids consisting of three CaCO^sub 3^ elements or three delicate, bar-shaped cuticular structures (Ramazzotti and Maucci, 1983; Kristensen, 1987).
In contrast, the class Eutardigrada has cephalic papillae only in the Apochela (non-homologous to the cephalic appendages in heterotardigrades); gonopore and anus combined to form a cloaca; Malpighian tubules present; placoids consisting of three sets of thickened cuticular structures (Ramazzotti and Maucci, 1983; Schuster et al., 1980; Guidi and Rebecchi, 1996; and others).

 Tardigrader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The marine species have generally a rather elaborated morphology with various appendages.
The limno-terrestrial species are classified into two groups; Heterotardigrada and Eutardigrada.
In the heterotardigrades, which includes the genus Echiniscus, the body is covered with sclerotizised plates and the head is equipped with two anterior cirri.

Identification to Tardigrada can be based on size, body shape and the presence of four pairs of short, unjointed legs with one or more terminal claws or pegs or toe-like adhesive disks.
Heterotardigrada carry tentacles or antennae on the head, and Oreelidae have four smooth claws on each leg while Echiniscidae have heavily sculptured dorsal plates and either some claws with a spur or else some legs with other than four claws.
There are four claws on each leg, but in Milnesiidae each leg is divided at its base into two parts, while in Macrobiotidae the legs are not divided.

In this state, they can survive extreme temperatures, as low as -253 C or as high as 151 C, as well as exposure to a vaccuum or to X-rays.
We have now tested the ability of the tardigrades Macrobiotus occidentalis (order Eutardigrada) and Echiniscus japonicus (Heterotardigrada) to survive under extraordinarily high hydrostatic pressures.
We sealed M. occidentalis tardigrades in a small plastic container (6 ml) placed inside a pressure capsule (R7K-3-10, Yamamoto Suiatu Kougyoucho) and compressed using water as the pressure medium.

In such a state, Tardigrades can survive for many years and hence escape death due to desiccation.
Classification: The Tradigrada is divided in one subphylum Pentastomida, and three orders Eutardigrada, Heterotardigrada, and Mesotardigrada.
Morphology: Tardigrades are less than 1 mm in size and have segmented bodies with four pairs of un-jointed limbs like Onychophora.
