| Abstract: | Aenigmenchus floreanae gen. n., sp. n. is described from Isla Floreana, Galapagos, Ecuador. It is apparently close to Tylopharynx, but differs ia. in its tiny '' stylet '' (2.5-3.5 mum), very slender pharynx, female with rudimentary posterior reproductive branch, and male with only four genital papillae. The '' stylet '', overall body shape and proportions resemble those of Tylenchidae, while the spicules are reminescent of Cephalobidae. The amphidial apertures are minute pores, and the '' stylet '' is so small that its exact structure remains uncertain. |
