Sicorinema gen. n. and Moshajia gen. n. (Dorylaimida: Crateronematidae) with descriptions of four new species

Abstract

Two new genera of dorylaimid nematodes, Sicorinema and Moshajia, are proposed in the family Crateronematidae Siddiqi, 1969. Both are characterized by a wide lumened odontostyle bearing a large aperture. Two new species of each of these genera are described below and Lordellonema warriari Jairajpuri, 1965 is tranferred to Moshajia. The nematodes for this study were heat-killed, fixed in a 3-5 % solution of formaldehyde and mounted in dehydrated glycerine by processing through warm lactophenol.
