Key to the species of Molgolaimus
This identification key for the genus Molgolaimus should serve as a help in the difficult process of identifying members of this genus. The key is based upon literature sources and the experience of Saskia Van Gaever and Maaike Steyaert from the Marine biology Section Ugent. Note that the key is an evolving tool. Using the key still requires a basic skill in the field of nematology. Results should always be checked with the species-descriptions and illustrations available in the database. Key created by Maaike Steyaert
