Two new and six known species of the soil-inhabiting nematode genus Tylencholaimus de Man, 1876 are described and illustrated. Tylencholaimus arakii sp. n. is characterized by having 0.56-0.65 mm long body; lip region cap-like, set off by a shallow constriction; labial disc present; odontostyle 7-8 mu m and odontophore 7-8 mu m long, with well-deve...
Illustrated descriptions of two new species of free-living nematodes found in sediments of small water bodies of Vietnam are presented. Laimydorus propinquus sp. n. is morphologically similar to L. papillatus Ahmad, Ahmad, 2002, but it is distinguished from it by a relatively longer and thicker body, a longer tail in females, a more anterior positi...
The aim of the present study was to characterize the morphological features of Aplectana macintoshii using light and scanning electron microscopy. Morphometric measurements of adult worms are given. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a transversely striated body and a triangular mouth opening. The latter is surrounded by three large oral lips an...

A new species of the nematode genus Allodorylaimus, found in natural habitats of the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula, is described. Allodorylaimus tuccitanus sp. nov. is characterised by its 1.51–1.69 mm long body, lip region hardly offset by depression or almost continuous and 14.0–15.5 µm wide, odontostyle 13.0–15.5 µm long, neck 321–417 µm long, pharyngeal expansion occupying 43–49% of the total neck length, presence of dorsal cell mass at level of cardia, female genital sytem diovarian, plicate sphincter, uterus bipartite and 101–207 µm or 2.0–3.6 body diameters long, V = 48–52, tail conical (38–45 µm, c = 34–42, c’ = 1.4–1.6), spicules 55–59 µm long, and 11 spaced ventromedian supplements without hiatus. The taxonomy of the genus is updated, including a diagnosis, list of species, key to their identification, and compendium of their most relevant morphometric features.
