Coomansinema istvani sp. n. is described from Ecuador, and is characterised by its relatively small size (L = 0.95-1.51 mm), lip region almost continuous with body profile with partly amalgamated lips, odontostyle slightly sinuate, with wide lumen, 20-27 μm long, female reproductive apparatus didelphic, vulva transverse, pre-rectum very short, mainly in female, 8-9 weakly developed, spaced, ventral pre-cloacal supplements, tail short (c′ = 0.6-1.0), tail convex-conoid in male and cupola-shaped, with a short finger-like process dorsally oriented in female. An updated list of the species of Coomansinema and a key to their identification is also provided. In addition, one new and two known species of Aporcelinus are reported. Aporcelinus altitudinalis and A. seychellensis are described on the basis of more numerous specimens and the male of A. seychellensis is described for the first time; it is similar to the female in general morphology and is characterised by a series of 7-9 spaced ventromedian supplements in addition to the cloacal pair with two supplements in the range of the spicules. Aporcelinus reyesi sp. n. is characterised by a 1.69-1.92 mm long body, lip region truncate, set off by a constriction, lips distinct with prominent papillae, odontostyle straight, with wide lumen, 29-36 μm long, female genital system didelphic-amphidelphic, uterus tripartite, containing up to five small eggs, vulva transverse, 13 male supplements, the last three in the range of the spicules. Tail 1.0-1.5 anal body diam. long, conical with acute tip, ventrally slightly convex, dorsally first convex and then concave, often appearing bent dorsad.

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.

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.

The genus Teleogryllus is known from 52 species distributed worldwide, of which India is home to 11 species. We update Teleogryllus diversity by describing a new species, T. rohinae Jaiswara & Jain sp. nov., from Kerala, India. In addition, we revise the description of the two widespread Teleogryllus species, i.e., T. mitratus (Burmeister, 1838) and T. occipitalis (Serville, 1838) and describe their female genital structures for the first time. Finally, we provide updated identification keys for all Indian Teleogryllus species.

Adenolaimus minor sp. n. is characterised by the short body (L = 0.38-0.46 mm), stoma supported by minute ribs, monoopisthodelphic female genital system with a small pre-uterine sac, obtusely rounded tail and male with slender spicules. Adenolaimus loofi sp. n. is characterised by the 0.66-0.72 mm long body; stoma and pharyngeal walls supported by minute rib-like structures; truncate lip region; 4.0 μ m long odontostyle; odontophore with basal flanges; mono-opisthodelphic female genital system with anterior uterine sac 0.7-1.0 times corresponding body diam. long; short hemispheroid tail and males with two, spaced, ventromedian supplements. Adenolaimus clavatus sp. n. is characterised by the 0.90-1.01 mm long body; stoma and pharyngeal walls supported by minute rib-like structures; continuous, rounded, lip region; 5.5-6.0 μm long odontostyle; odontophore with basal flanges; mono-opisthodelphic female genital system with a small anterior uterine sac and short clavate tail. Adenolaimus tropicus sp. n. is characterised by the 0.75-0.80 mm long body; lip region rounded and offset by depression; 5 μm long odontostyle; pharyngeal bulb not constricted; anterior genital branch reduced to an uterine sac and short hemispherical tail. Oostenbrinkia parva sp. n. is characterised by the small body (L = 0.440.49 mm); 4.0 μm long odontostyle with forked base, flanged odontophore; post-median vulva; vagina with two slender sclerotised pieces; amphidelphic genital system and short, hemispheroid, tail. Two known species, Aulolaimoides elegans and Adenolaimus orthus are redescribed and the generic diagnosis of Oostenbrinkia is emended.
