DREUXIOLA GEN. NOV.

Diagnosis: Filiform Meidiamidae with many testes. The prostate vesicle has the proximal pole directed forwards, where the paired seminal vesicles enter. The distal pole is directed backwards, but at its end, where the stylet is attached, it turns sharply forwards, so that the stylet is directed forwards. It enters the male atrium next to the atrial needles. These needles are surrounded by a glandular epithelium with its own muscular envelope. Female duct with a prepenial vagina, functioning as a copulatory bursa. Genito-intestinal duct near the female pore leading to a resorbing bursa.

Type species: Dreuxiola philippi sp. nov.
