Dorylaimus conicaudatus n. sp. Locality: Kapisigdlit. The Fjord of Godthaab. 9. 7. - 24. 8. 1926. Reisinger and Steinböck. Female: Length 2,0 mm. α =30; ß = 6,1; y = 30. Vulva 41,7 %. This very nice form is present in several specimens, some of which are fullgrown females, while the rest comprises young individuals. No male was seen. This species is beyond doubt nearly related to the subgenus Doryllium. It has a straight, rather long and relatively slender spear, and this is continued by a pseudo-spear much like that known in STEıNr-:ıüs D. macrodoraides, but it is easily distinguished from this form, by means of the relatively short oesophagus and the shape of the tail. The front end narrows quickly, and in this respect it is very much like D. groenlandicus. The head is rounded and neither lips nor papillae are obvioufl (fig. 15). The foremost half of the oesophagus is thin, and at the end of this the nerve ring is found; it is hardly observable, and behind it the oesophagus increases towards its base. ... : Published as part of Ditlevsen, Hjalmar, 1927, XXII.
