A Scanning Electron Microscope Study of Some Species of Terrestrial Nematodes From Spitzbergen

A Scanning Electron Microscope Study of Some Species of Terrestrial Nematodes From Spitzbergen A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDY OF SOME SPECIES OF TERRESTRIAL NEMATODES FROM SPITZBERGEN BY SVEN BOSTRÖM University of Stockholm, Department of Zoology, S-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden Three species of the family Cephalobidae and one species of the family Plectidae sampled on Spitzbergen were studied by scanning electron microscopy, which provided additional informa- tion on external morphology. Acrobeloides tricornis (Thorne, 1925) Thorne, 1937 was found to possess five incisures in the lateral field, rendering its differentiation from some other species of the genus less clear.
