Measurements of Doryllium minor Jairajpuri, 1963 . (All measurements in µm)</p><p>……continued on the next page</p><p>TABLE]. (Continued)</p><p>Remarks. Jairajpuri (1963) described Doryllium minor from Srinagar, Kashmir, India. Goseco et al. (1975) redescribed this species based on a study of the holotype as well as additional material from Indiana. Goseco et al. (1981) further redescribed this species from Panama while Nasira et al. (2005) redescribed it from Pakistan. The present specimens, collected from three entirely different geographical areas in India, as well as a population from Germany provide a much wider range of morphometric data on this widely distributed species. Interestingly, the morphometric data of all seven of these populations are quite similar without any significant differences; however, some morphological differences were recorded. The three populations from Kashmir valley, the region from where the type population was collected fits well with the original morphometric data provided by Jairajpuri (1963). However, the amphid is rather cup-shaped in the Dachigam National Park and Kangana valley populations, whereas it is stirrup-shaped in the Baramullah population. The outer cuticle is smooth in all three Kashmir populations as well as in the Nagaland population. Jairajpuri (1963) and Goseco et al. (1975) described outer cuticle as smooth. The Nagaland population also has a cup-shaped amphid. The two populations from Tamil Nadu, as well as the German population, have a distinctly striated outer cuticle and cup-shaped amphid. The tail in the Gudalur, Tamil Nadu population is similar to that of the type population, whereas it is rather more clavate in the Ooty population as well as in the German population. None of these morphological differences show a definite combination of characters, hence it is concluded that these differences are simple geographical variations and one has to be very cautious when using these characters individually when differentiating species.</p><p>Two Doryllium species, D. cornelli (van der Linde, 1938) Jairajpuri &amp; Siddiqi, 1963 and D. coronatum Brzeski, 1962 are very close to D. minor, however, D. cornelli is characterized by its distinctly sclerotized stoma lining and odontophore almost equal in length to odontostyle. D. coronatum is distinctive in having domed, projecting liplets around oral opening and odontophore about three times as long as odontostyle.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B7387B5FFBBFFF70CDDD43BA88A4A34	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Two paratype female and males each deposited with German nematode collection.</p><p>Etymology. The new species is named D. asymmetricum sp. n. because of its asymmetrical odontostyle.</p><p>Diagnosis and relationships. Doryllium asymmetricum sp. n. is characterized by having a body length of 0.52–0.63 mm; cap-like, slightly offset lip region; asymmetrical odontostyle, 6 µm long; weakly flanged odontophore 9–11 µm long (total spear length: 16–17 µm); pharynx with slender anterior part, which expands gradually into pear-shaped basal bulb occupying about 16.4–18.5% of total neck length; mono-opisthodelphic female genital system; anterior uterine sac 17–30 µm, filled with sperms; transverse vulva and roundedhemispheroid tail.</p><p>With its unconstricted pharyngeal bulb, presence of anterior uterine sac and tail shape, the new species comes close to Doryllium jamesi (Goseco, Ferris &amp; Ferris, 1975) Andrássy, 2009 and Doryllium nudum Thorne, 1964 . From D. jamesi, it differs in having a slightly longer body (vs 0.45–0.50 mm); asymmetrical odontostyle (vs symmetrical); lower c ratio (vs 56–64); more anteriorly located vulva (vs 41–47%); longer anterior uterine sac (vs 6.4 µm) and longer tail (vs 7–9 µm).</p><p>From Doryllium nudum, the new species differs in having a slightly longer body (vs 0.50 mm); higher a, b and c ratios (vs 21, 3.5 and 34, respectively); vulva more anteriorly located (vs 38%); shorter odontostyle (vs 7 µm); smaller combined odontostyle and odontophore length (vs 19 µm); asymmetrical odontostyle and odontophore with weak flanges (vs odontostyle symmetrical and odontophore without flanges) and males present (vs absent).</p><p>Discussion. Both new species distinctly differ from all the known species of the genus Doryllium in their characteristic odontostyle asymmetry (vs short, tubular) and in the odontophore bearing flanges instead of round basal knobs. However, there is a very fine line of differentiation between distinct knobs and flanges and sometimes these two terms are used synonymous and this character should not be used for generic differentiation. Even though the odontostyle nature appears different, proposing a new genus on the basis of such a slight difference does not seem reasonable. Hence, for the present, both new species are placed in the genus Doryllium and the diagnosis of the genus is slightly emended to accommodate the additional variation. A diagnostic compendium (table 4) of the species of the genus Doryllium is also provided.</p><p>……continued on the next page</p><p>Lrd = lip region diameter Ods = Odontostyle</p><p>Ph. bulb = Pharyngeal bulb Vms = # of ventromedian supplements</p><p>* = Calculated value from illustrations Geo. dist. = Geographical distribution</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B7387B5FFB0FFFC0CDDD7C8A8B24FA3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
