I actually had plans of moving the Tardigrade. But honestly, I just forgot about it due to other things. Thanks for the reminder.

About your criteria:
 * Smooth purple skin is related to coloration, so it's insufficent
 * Having eyes is also insufficent, and rather obvious (few creatures are made eyeless)
 * As I said before, having a defined head is rather a controversial reason for separation, since many more cells would need to be separated and Monera would become a mess. The same thing would likely happen in many other taxons as well.
 * Body shape and proboscides are actually good reasons, but doesn't suffice against the differences.

The Pathola's main mouth seems to be the insectoid jaw, while the two proboscides seem to be secondary (just like those of the Hydra). The Speedsucker only has one proboscis, and it is its main mouth. The Speedsucker has back cillia the Pathola lacks, while the Pathola has many poisonous parts the Speedsucker doesn't have. The Pathola's head is separated from the body by a small neck, while the Speedsucker's head is merged with the body. Lastly, though not that important after all, the Pathola has two antennae-like eye, while the Speedsucker has only one eye in the middle of its head. They're differente enough to be in separate genera, and the Pathola's main mouth being the insectoid pincers makes it more of a carnitorian, rather than a proboscitorian like the Speedsucker would be. I have repeated myself many times, so is there any other reason or may I move them already?
