Abstract
Two new species of Rhigonematida are described from the posterior intestine of Scaphiostreptus seychellarum from the Seychelles. Brumptaemilius seychellarum n.sp. (Ransomnematoidea; Carnoyidae) resembles B. gabonensis, B. venardi, B. oschei, and B. monsarratae in that the caudal end of the male is not abruptly truncate and supports an appendage longer than but not twice as long as the gubernaculum. The new species differs from the first two species in that it bears two longitudinal sub-ventral preanal rows of cuticular bosses. It is distinguished from B. oschei on the basis of details in the structure of the area rugosa in the male and from B. monsarratae by its longer spicules. Rhigonema seychellarum n.sp. (Rhigonematoidea; Rhigonematidae) resembles other Rhigonema spp. from Africa and India in having three postanal papillae pairs which are sublateral to subdorsal in position. It is most similar to R. madecassum but is distinguished by the shape of the caudal extremity in both sexes. Variation in the structure of the ovejector in Rhigonema spp. is reviewed.
