Abstract:

SEM and TEM studies have been undertaken to unravel the cuticle structure of Criconema paradoxiger (Orton Williams, 1982) Raski & Luc, 1985 and to demonstrate the taxonomic status of this species. The peculiar structure of the lip region and the taxonomic value generally assigned to this character within the Criconematidae are arguments to consider Amphisbaenema as a separate genus, restricting it to the type species.
