| Abstract |
An illustrated description of two free-living nematode species—Leptolaimoides brevicaudatus sp. n. and Paramonhystera affinis sp. n.—from the water bodies of Vietnam is presented. L. brevicaudatus is similar to L. thermastris (Lorenzen, 1966); L. gangioensis Hoang Lai-Phu et al., 2009; and L. asiaticus Gagarin, Nguyen Vu Thanh, 2005 in regards to body size, but differs from these species by a shorter and less slender body, longer spicules, and the absence of precloacal supplements in males. Paramonhystera affinis sp. n. is morphologically similar to P. parabutschlii (Timm, 1961) and P. levicula (Lorenzen, 1972), but it has shorter and sparse somatic setae, six outer labial setae (versus four outer labial setae in both compared species), and shorter spicules. |
