Lepidodermella squamata is a freshwater species of minute worm in the phylum Gastrotricha.

Lepidodermella squamata is a small worm-like organism growing to a length of 190 μm (0.007 inch).

[citation needed] Lepidodermella squamata is found in North and South America, Japan and much of Europe.

It is a freshwater species and is found on the surface of water plants in lakes, ponds, streams and marshes.

[citation needed] The phylogenetic relationships of the Gastrotricha are still unclear: Morphological studies place Gastrostricha near the Gnathostomulida, the Rotifera or the Nematoda.
