Taxonomic review of microlaimids with description of five species from the White Sea (Nematoda: Chromadoria)

S.V. Kovalyev & A.V. Tchesunov

Abstract. Taxonomic problems in the family Microlaimidae are discussed, and a key to the genera of Microlaimidae is given. Five species of Microlaimus are recorded from the White Sea for the first time. Microlaimus paraconothelis sp. n. is described from the White Sea.
