Eudorylaimus subjunctus View in CoL n.sp. ( Fig. 24 View FIG ; Diagram 4)

Dimensions:

Females (n = 10): L = 1.01 -1.19 mm; a = 26-28; b = 2.8 -3.6; c = 21 -25; V = 10 - 1555 - 6010 - 14.

Female, holotype: L = 1.12 mm; a = 27; b = 3.1; c = 23; V = " S S10.

Male unknown.

Body curved slightly in death, tail bent more strongly, to ventral side. Cuticle 2 [x thick, increasing to 3 \± on tail; distinctly layered, the outer layer with fine but distinct transverse striation. Lateral chord one-sixth of body width. Lip region offset by constriction, its width 40 % of body diameter at base of oesophagus, its height 40 % of its width; lips well developed, separate, somewhat angular, the papillae not protruding. Amphids half the correspondingbody width. Odontostyle 15 -18 jx long or 1.0-1.3 x width of lip region, the aperture occupying one-third of its length. Basal portion 24-26JJL long, linear. Guiding ring 'single'. The nerve ring surrounds the oesophagusatabouttwo-fifthsofits length from head end. Hemizonid not seen. Cardia bulky, ovoid,25JJ. long.

Vulva of the transverse type, vagina distinctly sclerotized, less than half body width deep. Gonads two, opposed, reflexed, with a distinct sphincter in the oviduct. No sperm. Tail conoid with blunt tip; slightly bent to ventral side, 2. 1 - 2.4 anal body widths long. Rectum slightly longer than anal body diameter, prerectum 1.5-2.5 X as long as rectum.

Holotype: Female on slide WT 1172. Paratypes: Nine females on slides WT 1173 - 1179.

Type habitat and locality: Sample 64. Paratypes also from samples 34,37, 48 and 52. Found furthermore in samples 9, 10, 11, 42 and 46. The population from sample 9 has slightly different dimensions: it is slenderer and the vulva lies more anterior. Dimensions of three females: L = 1.10-1.30 mm; a = 29- 37; b = 3.4- 3.9; c = 25- 35; V = 9 - 1 1 50- 529 - 12.

Through the blunt, conoid-arcuate tail this species resembles E.junctus (Thorne & Swanger, 1936) Andrassy, 1959 . It differs from that species by the much shorter odontostyle (against 23 \L), longer aperture, post-equatorial vulva, and more distinct lips. From E. santosi (Meyl, 1957) it differs by the striated cuticle and blunt terminus, from E. nodus (Thorne & Swanger, 1936) by the well separate lips and more anteriorly expanded oesophagus; from E.allgéni (Andrâssy, 1958) , of which only the male is known, by the longer tail (T/ABW = 1 in allgéni ).
