AbstractA new species, Belondira bagongshanensis n. sp., extracted from soil under grass in Bagongshan Forest Park, Anhui Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is mainly characterized by a body length 1.6–2.1 mm; cephalic framework moderately sclerotized; odontostyle robust with a distinct lumen; anterior part of pharynx with a distinct fusiform swelling, bearing distinct sclerotized valve plates and basal expansion occupying about three-fifths of the total neck length; female genital system mono-opisthodelphic and anterior branch 0.8–1.6 times the corresponding body diameter; tail short and hemispheroid; male spicules 36–49 μm long and two widely spaced ventromedian supplements. The new species is close to B. wajahati, B. golden and B. eugeniae in possessing a short tail, a robust odontostyle with a distinct aperture and a moderately sclerotized cephalic framework. New sequences of 18S rDNA and the D2–D3 region of 28S rDNA of the new species were also identified.

Summary A new species belonging to the genus Aporcella, collected in cultivated soils of East Azarbaijan province, Iran, is described and illustrated. The new species is characterised by its 1.08 (1.05-1.15) mm long body, two-layered cuticle, lip region offset by constriction and 12 (11-13) μm broad, odontostyle 13.0 (12.5-14.0) μm long or nearly equal to lip region diam., neck 310 (293-325) μm long, pharyngeal expansion 137 (128-144) μm long, occupying 43-45% of the total neck length, female genital system didelphic-amphidelphic, uterus simple, 34-48 μm long, vulva transverse (V = 59 (58-61)), tail conical with finely rounded terminus (30 (29-33) μm long, c = 34 (33-36), c′ = 1.5 (1.4-1.6)), and male absent. Molecular analyses, using Bayesian inference based on partial LSU sequences, confirm the monophyly of Aporcella as well as its clustering with other dorylaimid taxa characterised by the absence of pars refringens vaginae. The taxonomy of the genus is updated, with an emended diagnosis, list of species, key to their identification, and a compendium of the main morphometrics of species/populations described since the last available revision.

AbstractThree Costa Rican species with a simple uterus, two new and one known, belonging to the genus Oriverutus are described. Descriptions, measurements and illustrations are provided. A detailed study of O. asaccatus, including SEM pictures, is presented and its diagnosis emended; O. sturhani is regarded as its junior synonym. Oriverutus costaricensis sp. n. is distinguished by its body 1.07-1.24 mm long, lip region offset by constriction and 14-15 μm broad, odontostyle 23.5-24 μm long, neck 277-353 μm long, pharyngeal-expansion 125-179 μm long or 45-51% of total neck length, cardia asymmetrical, a dorsal cell mass present at level of pharyngo-intestinal junction, female genital system amphidelphic, V = 45-48, tail conical and slightly bent dorsad at the end (42-43 μm long, c = 25-29, c′ = 1.7-1.8), and males unknown. Oriverutus hemihystera sp. n. is characterised by its body 0.92-1.17 mm long, lip region offset by shallow depression or almost continuous and 10-11.5 μm broad, odontostyle 22-24 μm long, neck 280-330 μm long, pharyngeal expansion 115-138 μm long or 41-43% of total neck length, female genital system amphidelphic but anterior genital branch reduced, V = 43-45, tail conical and slightly bent dorsad at the end (62-65 μm long, c = 15-18, c′ = 3.1-3.4), and males unknown.

A New Species

A new species of free-living nematode Monhystera tibetica sp. nov. from a thermal spring in the Garuda Valley at an altitude of 4249 m in Western Tibet is described. The general morphology corresponds to the generic diagnosis. The cephalic setae are very short. In the lower part of the stoma there is a small denticle. The amphid of males is situated over the level of the denticle. The distance from the edge of the head to the denticle is about 6 μm. The amphid of females is situated above the denticle. The esophagus is dilated at the base, pseudobulbus width is 22 μm. Males have numerous precloacal supplements. From the geographically close species of M. curvicaudata Tsalolikhin, 1915 the new species is distinguished by body size, amphid position, position of the vulva and the presence of the stomal denticle. From M. wangi Wu et Hoeppli, 1929 the new species differs by the amphid position and the presence of the stromal denticle. From M. shibrui Eyualem et Coomans, 1996 the new species differs in body size and length of spicules. The taxonomic status of the species with one and two denticles is discussed. The replacement of the name Tridentulus with Tridentula is no longer relevant. The validity of the name Tridentulus Eyualem et Coomans, 1995 is maintained.
