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.

AbstractEcanema gen. n. is described from natural forest in Costa Rica. The new genus is characterised by having distinctly offset lip region, separate lips with distinctly projecting labial papillae, attenuated odontostyle, pharynx rather sac-like, apparently divisible into three regions, large S1N1, distinct cardiac glands, amphidelphic female genital system, short conoid tail and supplements beginning within the range of spicules in males. The type and only species, E. ecae sp. n., is characterised by having 0.87-0.98 mm long body; 19.5-20.5 μm long odontostyle; expanded part of pharynx comprising 36-41% of total neck length; pars refringens vaginae sclerotised and about one anal body diam. long, and conoid tail with acute terminus.

Nine species of Hatschekiidae are (re-)described from Japanese actinopterygian fishes belonging to Ophidiiformes, Beryciformes and Scorpaeniformes. They are Hatschekia anomalis sp. nov., Hatschekia bifurcata Yamaguti & Yamasu, 1959, H. couardi Nunes-Ruivo, 1954, H. fusiformis Shiino, 1957, H. hoplobrotulae sp. nov., H. multibarbatae sp. nov., H. tenuis (Heller, 1865), Prohatschekia awatati (Yamaguti, 1939), and P. neobythitesi sp. nov. The first species is recovered from an unusual site of the host. In H. couardi and P. awatati the males are described for the first time and the possession of the naked first antennular segment is confirmed in both sexes of these species. The Hatschekiidae have paired seminal receptacles in the female and adopt the eudactylinid type of insemination mode, though exhibiting variation of the insemination procedure. It can be concluded that the insemination modes link up with the female genital system in the Siphonostomatoida.
