DESCRIPTION OF DIPLOLAIMELLA DIEVENGATENSIS SP. N. (NEMATODA: MONHYSTERIDAE) BY L. J. JACOBS, M. C. VAN DE VELDE, E. GERAERT and G. VRANKEN Laboratorium voor Morfologie en Systematiek der Dieren, Rijksuniversiteit Gent, K.L. Ledeganckstraat 35, B-9000 Gent, Belgium Diplolaimella dievengatensis sp. n. was sampled from the Dievengat, a thalassic water pond situated near Knokke in North Western Belgium. The different juvenile and adult stages are described in detail. The male of D. dievengatensis is characterised by the length of the spicules ( > 25 µm), the prominence of the gubernacular apophyses and the presence and position of five pairs of equal and prominent post-cloacal genital papillae. The female is characterised by the sclerotizations of the vaginal cuticle and the absence of a postvulval uterine sac. Keywords: taxonomy, morphology, brackish water, nematodes. Diplolaimella dievengatensis sp. n., a bacterivorous monhysterid, was misiden- tified in previous papers as Monhystera microphthalma de Man, 1880 (see below). The species is easily maintainable in laboratory cultures (Vranken & Heip, 1986b). In this paper, specimens sampled from cultured populations are described in detail, including the different juvenile stages. It was originally drafted by L. J. Jacobs and G. Vranken, but both were unable to continue. This
