2F2E4731FFF3FFF70F51F99E99EEFBC6.taxon	description	(Fig. 1) One female. Dimensions: L = 1.47 mm; a = 25; b = 4.8; c = 67; V = 123717. Generally this specimen agrees well with the redescription given by Thorne (1939), and with specimens collected recently in The Netherlands. The vulva, however, lies more anteriorly (41 - 46 % in European specimens) and there is no constriction between the base of the spear extensions and the oesophagus proper; such a constriction is, however, present in the single juvenile of this species found in the same soil sample. Spear length 42 t, or 2.5; <the width of the lip region; width of spear 2.5 tt, aperture about one-eighth of spear length. Spear extensions 46 tt, flanged, the central walls more strongly sclerotized. Stomatal walls thickened anterior to guiding ring. Vulva appears longitudinal; vagina with indistinct, weak sclerotization. Rectum slightly shorter than anal body diameter, prerectum about thrice as long as rectum. On the tail the inner cuticular layer is strongly thickened (8 JL, total thickness of cuticle there 9.7 ju), with distinct radial striae. Collected from soil near roots of apple, Srinagar, Kashmir.	en	Shamim Jairajpuri, M., Loof, P. A. A. (1967): On Some Species of Enchodelus Thorne, 1939 from India (Nematoda: Dorylaimidae).

Body moderately slender, curved into C-shape in death. Cuticle 3. f-Lthick, smooth externally, with very fine transverse striation internally. Lateral chord finely granular, one-fifth to one-sixth of body width. Lip region one-quarter as wide as body at the base of the oesophagus, offset by depression, about twice as wide as high; the inner papillae project distinctly, the outer ones hardly. End-on view shows there are six lips with the usual 6 + 10 papillae. Amphids stirrup-shaped, more than half as wide as lip region. Spear length 40 - 43, ?? in the male, 42 - 46 tt in the female, or 3.0 - 3.8 X width of lip region. Spear 2 tt wide, with aperture about 1 / 15 - 1 / 20 of spear length. Spear curved very slightly to dorsal side. Extensions about as long as spear proper, linear, not forming flanges. Guiding ring double. Walls of mouth cavity not so conspicuously thickened anterior to guiding ring as in many other species of the genus. In some specimens the oesophagus narrows slightly where it passes through the nerve ring, which surrounds it about its middle. Oesophagus widened at 60 % of neck length from head end, the posterior part slightly more than half as wide as body and about 3.5 X as long as wide. Hemizonid not observed. Cardia triangular to elongate-conoid. Female. Vulva a transverse slit. Vagina less than one-half body width deep, with conspicuous sclerotization. Gonads paired, opposed and reflexed. A distinct constriction between uterus and oviduct. Ovaries proper short. Scattered sperm in the uteri. Tail 1.3 - 1.8 anal body diameters long, conoid, curved to ventral side. Rectum about as long as anal body width; prerectum apparently as long as rectum in two specimens, nearly thrice as long in another. Male. Testes two. Spicules paired, blunt-tipped, 53 - 56 ti long (measured along their axis), with lateral guiding pieces. Besides the adanal pair there is a row of seven (n = 2) or eight (n = 3) ventromedian, spaced supplements, occupying together three tail lengths; the posterior one lying two tail lengths anterior to the anus. Prerectum three body widths long. Tail 1.5 - 1.8 anal body widths long, shaped as in female.	en	Shamim Jairajpuri, M., Loof, P. A. A.

2F2E4731FFF0FFF30D71F6B39E4AF928.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis.: E. constrictus n. sp. differs from E. rhaeticus Altherr, 1952 by the smaller body (against 1.6 - 2.0 mm) and posterior vulva (against 39 - 41 %). The sphincter in the female gonads might also be a differentiating character. It is true that Altherr did not give a detailed description of the gonads of E. rhaeticu. r, but in the same paper he described the genus Heterodoru. r as differring from Enchodelu. r by the presence of a peculiar organ in the female gonads, so it is reasonable to assume that he paid special attention to the gonads in Enchodelu. r. From E, magnifictls (Altherr, 1952) E. constrictus differs by smaller body (against 1.8 - 2.6 mm), lower value of " a " (21 - 25 against 37) and absence of cutinized pieces around the oral aperture. For E. macrodoroide. r (Steiner, 1914) see under E. longiden. r.	en	Shamim Jairajpuri, M., Loof, P. A. A. (1967): On Some Species of Enchodelus Thorne, 1939 from India (Nematoda: Dorylaimidae).

2F2E4731FFF6FFF10D34F8F899C9FE2C.taxon	description	(Fig. 4) One female. Dimensions: L = 1.73 mm; a = 38; b = 5.1; c = 30; V = 1? 4611. Body slender, widely curved ventrally in death. Cuticle 3 fL thick, smooth externally, with very fine transverse striation internally. Lateral chord one-third as wide as body, containing globules interspersed by granular parts; perhaps these are glands, but no external pores were visible. Lip region slightly more than one-third as wide as body at base of oesophagus, offset by constriction; nearly thrice as wide as high, contours rounded. Papillae of outer circle not projecting, those of inner circle projecting distinctly as low rounded elevations. Spear 34 p long, 2.5 5 fLwide, the aperture one-seventh of its length; spear length equal to twice width of lip region. Spear extensions 37 p long, linear, not forming flanges, ending in small knobs. Amphids stirrup-shaped, more than half as wide as lip region. Guiding ring double, distance from its anterior margin to head end equal to width of lip region. Posterior two-fifths of oesophagus (from head end) widened, about 315 as wide as body. Nerve ring at 40 % of neck length from head end; some distinct ganglia between nerve ring and oesophageal expansion. Hemizonid conspicuous, running from mid-ventral line to the lateral chords as band 4 p wide. Cardia roundish, slightly shorter than wide. Vulva probably transverse. Depth of vagina 60 % of body width; vagina distinctly sclerotized. Gonads paired, opposed and reflexed. Tail straight, conoid with blunt tip; two anal body widths long. Rectum as long as anal body diameter, prerectum seven times as long as rectum or 63 % of neck length.	en	Shamim Jairajpuri, M., Loof, P. A. A.

2F2E4731FFF6FFF10D34F8F899C9FE2C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Though only one specimen was available, this differs clearly from other species and is in good condition, so that we think it justified to base a species description upon it. E. zonatus shares the conoid, straight tail with E, conicaudatus (Ditlevsen, 1927) Thorne, 1939, from which it differs by the much longer spear: 34 tt against 18 tt (based upon Ditlevsen's drawing and upon examination of recent specimens from Spitzbergen); extensions included 71 p against 45 Also the lip region is much lower and broader. The ratio " spear length: width of lip region " is 2.0 in zonatu. r, 1.5 - 1.6 in conicaudatu. r.	en	Shamim Jairajpuri, M., Loof, P. A. A.
