Abstract
Longidorus profundorum n. sp., ♂, ♀ and larvae, is described and figured from England. It was found in soil around apple and quince root stocks and about the roots of rough grass and bushes. It has a truncate lip region, which is continuous with the body contour, and the female has a roundly conoid tail about an anal-body-width long. The amphids have evenly bilobed pouches. L. profundorum is closest to L. goodeyi Hooper, 1961 and L. caespiticola Hooper, 1961, but differs in the shape of the head and amphids. Males are common and most of the tail supplements are in a single ventro-median row.
