Paracomesoma paralongispiculum sp. n.: a new species of nematode from mangroves of Can Gio (Vietnam) and taxonomy of the genus Paracomesoma Hope et Murphy, 1972 (Nematoda: Araeolaimida)
A literature review reveals that 13 species are described belonging to the genus Paracomesoma Hope and Murphy, 1972. In Can Gio mangrove fore st, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, one new species Paracomesoma paralongispiculum n. sp. was found, which brings the number of species up to 14. This species differs from all known species of this genus by its very long spicules (12 times a.b.d) and 11–12 papillae supplements all confined within the spicular region.
