Rhabditidae sp. 1 (Figs 4 A, B; Table 2) The three dead females (ZIHU 3325-3327) obtained were infested and colonized by fungi inside their bodies (Fig. 4 A, B). Head rounded with no constriction, lateral lips with small amphidial aperture. Stoma cylindrical; cheilostom not sclerotized, glottoid apparatus isomorphic, metastom with two warts. Pharyngeal corpus with muscular median bulb. Reproductive system amphidelphic; vulva transverse, located near midbody. Rectum short, 0.9–1.1 abd length. Tail conical, 6.0–7.3 abd length. The specimens resemble Caenorhabditis (Osche, 1952) Dougherty, 1953 in general features of the body. Characters: a,b,c, de Man's ratios; V, position of vulva as a percentage of the body length from anterior end. * Value in ZIHU 3325 (L= 849). ... : Published as part of Kito, Kenji & Ohyama, Yoshikuni, 2008, Rhabditid nematodes found from a rocky coast contaminated with treated wastewater of Casey Station in East Antarctica, with a description of a new species of Dolichorhabditis Andrássy, 1983 (Nematoda: Rhabditidae), pp. 43-52 in Zootaxa 1850 on page 49, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183386 ...
