New and little-known free-living nematodes from Ethiopia
S.J. Tsalolikhin
Abstract. Two new species of Monhesterida are described from the Rift Valley: Diplolaimella pusilla from Shala Lake and Penzancia darcovi from Langano Lake. D. pusilla sp. n. can be distinguished from all species of the genus Diplolaimella by the shorter body and relatively long oesophagus. P. darcovi sp. n. differs from similar species by the shorter spicule and cephalic setae and by the structure of gubernaculum. Little-known species Mononchoides longicauda Rahm, 1928 from the Dinike River (Bale Prov.) and Achromadora micoletzkyi (Stefanski, 1915) from the Neri River (Gamo Gofa Prov.) are redescibed.
