297C87A48C36C819EEBE0665FAA1FEAB.taxon	description	Measurements: See Tables 1 and 2. Female n = 14: Body C-shaped upon relaxation and fixation. Cuticle very thin, 1 Μm, with fine striations and anastomoses. Small setae and pores present around and along the body. Head region rounded, 13 – 15 (14 ± 0.2) Μm wide. Inner labial papillae conoid; outer labial setae conoid 2 – 3 (2.7 ± 0.1) Μm long; cephalic setae small, 1 Μm long, and separated from the outer labial setae by <1 Μm so that they appear as a single whorl of six longer and four shorter setae. The dorsal tooth is 13 – 18 Μm (14.8 ± 0.3) from the anterior end of the body and 2 – 3 (2.2 ± 0.1) Μm behind the small subventral teeth. The dorsal tooth and subventral teeth are in adjacent stomal chambers; the anterior chamber is very small and sometimes appears to be contiguous with the posterior chamber. Amphids caliciform, 8 – 11 (9.7 ± 0.2) Μm from anterior end of the body. Distance from base of pharynx to vulva is 141 – 283 (205 ± 10) Μm. Cardia very conspicuous, 20 – 27 (25 ± 0.6) Μm long and 20 – 26 (24 ± 0.6) Μm wide, comprised of six cells, the anterior and posterior of medium size and the median cells larger. Excretory pore observed in ten of the 14 specimens. TABLE. 2. Morphometric data for paratypes of Tripylella spp. n. (measurements in Μm ± S. D followed by range, except where indicated). Female gonads reflexed, the anterior 47 – 104 (81 ± 5.4) Μm long, 6.2 – 14.2 (10.9 ± 0.7) % of the body length, and the posterior 19 – 132 (88 ± 8.6) Μm long, 2.4 – 16.2 (11.9 ± 1.1) % of the body length (we consider the very short posterior gonad in one specimen to be a developmental anomaly). Vulva without protruding lips but with small oval cuticular structures. Rectum 18 – 25 (21 ± 0.6) Μm long or 0.7 – 1.0 (0.8 ± 0.02) times anal body diameter. Tail cylindroid, wide anteriorly for 22 – 27 (25 ± 0.4) Μm or 42 – 65 (56 ± 1.86) % of its length and then narrowing abruptly, ending in a spinneret 2 – 4 (3.1 ± 0.2) Μm long. Two pairs of caudal setae present, one pair at seven annuli posterior to the anus, in a lateral position, and the second pair in a latero-dorsal position, also a single seta in a dorsal position, less than 20 µm from the point at which the tail becomes reduced in diameter.

Diagnosis and Relationships: Tripylella mexicana sp. n. is characterized by the small size of the body, the finely-striated cuticle that has many anastomoses, pores and small setae along the body, the short pharynx, short tail, and the presence of a readilyvisible excretory pore, the anterior position of the subventral teeth in relation to the small dorsal tooth and the teeth contained in adjacent stomal chambers, the absence of cervical setae, the vulval lips not protruding, and the vulva with small oval sclerotized pieces.	en	Prado-Vera, Ignacio Cid Del, Ferris, Howard, Nadler, Steven A.

297C87A48C36C819EEBE0665FAA1FEAB.taxon	discussion	Comments: We have examined specimens of a population of Tripylella sp. from Pueblo Nuevo, Hidalgo State, México. Tripylella mexicana sp. n. is very close to that population in the size of the body, size of the pharynx and tail, the position of the vulva, and in that the subventral teeth are usually posterior to the dorsal tooth although in some specimens they appear to be anterior. It differs in the size of the cardia 20 – 27 vs. 12 – 21 Μm long and 20 – 26 vs. 17 – 24 Μm wide, in the length of the narrower portion of the tail 38 – 57 vs. 40 – 70 Μm, and in having a more finely-striated cuticle. We consider the Pueblo Nuevo population to be a variant of T. mexicana sp. n ..	en	Prado-Vera, Ignacio Cid Del, Ferris, Howard, Nadler, Steven A.

They resemble Tripylella muscusi sp. n. in the body and pharynx length, position of the vulva, the anterior position of the subventral teeth in relation to the dorsal tooth, the length of the tail and the abrupt narrowing of the tail. The Amecameca population differed in the distance of amphid apertures to the anterior end of body, in the distance of posterior end of pharynx to anus, in the size of narrow part of the tail and the smaller protrusion of the vulval lips.
