Genus Neochromadora Micoletzky, 1924

The genus Neochromadora was established by Micoletzky (1924) to accommodate Chromadora poecilosoma (de Man, 1893) (designed as the type species), Chromadora craspedota ( Steiner, 1916) and Chromadora poecilosomoides ( Filipjev, 1918) . Micoletzky (1924) considered Neochromadora as close to Euchromadora , but distinct in the complex structure of the cuticle. After Micoletzky (1924), 7 species were added to Neochromadora [ N. izhorica ( Filipjev, 1929) ; N. trichophora ( Steiner, 1921) ; N. tecta Gerlach, 1951 ; N. attenuate ; N. complexa Gerlach, 1953 ; N. amembranata Wieser, 1954 and N. brevisetosa Wieser, 1954 ]. Wieser (1954) proposed two subgenera, Trichodorina and Neochromadora , based on the morphology of dorsal tooth, pharyngeal bulb and measurements of cervical and somatic setae. He also transferred Spiliphera aberrans Cobb, 1930 , Chromadora craspedota Steiner, 1916 and Chromadora sabulicola , and described two new species of Neochromadora ( N. calathifera and N. lateralis ), adding up to 15 species in his key. N. attenuata was later renamed as Prochromadorella attenuata . After Wieser (1954), 11 new valid species were described to Neochromadora ( N. bonita Gerlach, 1956 ; N. coudenhovei Wieser, 1956 ; N. notocraspedota Allgén, 1958 ; N. appiana Wieser, 1959 ; N. pugilator Wieser, 1959 ; N. alatocorpa Hopper, 1961 ; N. nitida Timm , 1 961; N. munita Lorenzen, 1972 ; N. paratecta Blome, 1974 ; N. paramunita Boucher, 1976 and N. angelica Riemann, 1976 ). Timm (1978) transferred Spilophera edentata to Neochromadora and suggested Neochromadora izhorica as synonym of N. (Neochromadora) edentata . After Timm (1978), six other new species were described in the genus ( N. bilineata Kito, 1978 ; N. oshoroana Kito, 1981 ; N. orientalis Lemzina, 1982 ; N. lineata Pastor de Ward, 1985 ; N. papillosa Pastor de Ward, 1985 and N. nicolae Vincx, 1986 ). Neochromadora trilineata was described by Schneider (1943) but later was considered a synonym of Punctodora ohridensis by Gerlach & Meyl (1957). However, subsequently, Hopper (1963) removed the synonym of Neochromadora trilineata to P. ohridiensis and considered the former species as incertae sedis since there was no material available for further investigation. The species N. paramunita was synonymized with N. munita by Vincx (1986). We recognize 31 species as valid.

Diagnosis (modified from Tchesunov 2014): Cuticle ornamentation heterogeneous and complex, with lateral differentiation visible as two or three longitudinal rows of large dots. Six small outer labial setae or papillae and four cephalic setae in separate circles. Inner labial sensilla may be conspicuous in one species ( N. munita ). Presence of somatic setae in some species. Amphideal fovea transverse slit-like and loop shaped. Buccal cavity with a dorsal tooth and two ventrosublateral teeth, in some species the dorsal one being larger than the others. Denticles can be present. Pharynx anteriorly not swollen or swollen next to the dorsal tooth. Pharynx with a single well-developed posterior bulb. Male usually with numerous precloacal supplements. It is mainly a marine genus, but one species was recovered in freshwater ( N. orientalis ) and three were recovered in brackish water ( N. bonita , N. complexa and N. izhorica ) habitats.

Number of valid species: 31

SPECIES INCERTAE SEDIS

Genus Panduripharynx Timm, 1961

The genus Panduripharynx was established by Timm (1961) to accommodate the species P. ornata from the Bay of Bengal. It is distinguished from other genera of the sub-family Hypodontolaiminae on the basis of the structure of the stoma and pharynx, and the cuticular ornamentation. Belogurov et al. (1985) described P. pacifica but Dashchenko (1989) transferred P. bidentatus and P. unidentatus from Spilophorella and synonymized P. pacificus with P. unidentatus .

Diagnosis (modified from Tchesunov 2014): Cuticle heterogeneous and complex with lateral differentiation of larger dots bordering the lateral field. Anterior sensilla in three separate circles. Amphideal fovea transverse slitlike shaped. Buccal cavity broad, with large dorsal tooth with small apophysis, two smaller ventrosublateral teeth, and solid denticles; well-cuticularized walls. Peribuccal pharyngeal tissue swollen dorsally; bulb double, massive, panduriform, with heavy internal sclerotizations. No precloacal supplements in males. Marine.
