Abstract

Paratimminema brevibulbum n. gen., n. sp. and Roqueus indicus n. sp. are described and illustrated. Paratimminema n. gen. is characterised by the presence of labial and post-labial sclerotization, a short expanded part of the oesophagus and a double gonad. It differs from Sclerolabia Carbonell & Coomans, 1986 in the presence of double gonad and from Willinema Baqri & Jairajpuri, 1967 in the presence of labial and post-labial sclerotization. Roqueus indicus n. sp. differs from R. gracilis Thorne, 1964, the only known species in this genus, by having a shorter body, shorter odontophore, lesser 'b' value, more posterior vulva and a shorter tail.
