THE GENUS AXONCHIUM (NEMATODA: BELONDIRIDAE) III. SPECIES WITH VAGINAL SCLEROTIZATION (PART 1) BY PANKAJAM NAIR*) Instituut voor Dierkunde, Rijksuniversiteit, Gent, Belgium The species of Axonchium with vaginal sclerotization and disc-like structure between vulva and vagina are redescribed. This group consists of six species described by Thorne (1939), namely A. cho- ristum, A. crassum, A. gigas, A. micans, A. serpens and A. solitare, and a seventh species, A. thornei, described by Hechler (1969). Most of them have not been reported from other places than the type locality. This third paper of the series on the genus Axonchium Cobb, 1920, deals with those species that possess a vaginal sclerotization and a disc-like structure between vulva and vagina. In this group belong Axonchium choristum, A. crassum, A.gigas, A. micans, A. serpens, A. solitare and A. thornei. A list of abbreviations used in the tables can be found in the first paper of the series (Nair & Coomans, 1973). DESCRIPTIONS Axonchium choristum Thorne, 1939 .
