Review of the fauna of free living nematodes from inland waters of Ethiopia

S.J. Tsalolikhin

Abstract. 26 species of nematodes are recorded from 10 lakes and 14 rivers of Ethiopia. Most of them are re-described and figured in this paper. Some species are new for Ethiopia and Africa. A lectotype of Actinolaimus omercooperi Filipjev, 1931 is designated and re-described. New synonymy is established: Monhystrella parvella (Filipjev, 1931) = Diplolaimella pusilla Tsalolikhin, 1993, syn. n.
