Abstract

This paper provides the descriptions and illustrations of two new species of the nematode genus Aporcelaimellus (family Aporcelaimidae). Aporcelaimellus salsus sp. n. from the United States is characterized by the medium-sized body, short odontostyle, unsclerotized vulva, conical, dorsally not concave tail with distinctly separated layers of terminal cuticle. Aporcelaimellus acaudatus sp. n. from Ecuador is distinguished by the large body, sclerotized vulva and especially by the exceedingly short and blunt tail with strongly thickened inner layer of terminal cuticle.
