| Abstract |
First detection of free-living nematodes Microlaimus tenuispiculum de Man, 1922 from the Black Sea is marked. Species is found off the coast of Crimea and on the NW shelf of the Black Sea (in areas of Zernov’s Phyllophora Field and submarine Dnieper Canyon) at depths from 5 to 190 m on different types of sediment (sandy-silt, dense silt clay and silt with hydrogen sulphide). Description with illustrations of M. tenuispiculum is given. The Black Sea specimens differs by the shorter tail (c = 7.3–9.1 vs c = 6–7.5), shorter esophagus (b = 6.9–8.2 vs b = 6–6.9) and the presence of somatic setae. |
