Abstract. A new nematode species, Labronema przhiboroi sp. nov., belonging to the family Dorylaimidae, has been found in the freshwater Lake Duluk on the Putorana Plateau in Eastern Siberia, at a depth of approximately one metre. This species is morphologically similar to the Far Eastern species L. macrosoma Alekseev, 1992, from which it can be distinguished by its smaller body size, shorter spicules, and more pronounced cuticular ridges.
