Abstract

Two species of Longidorus and one species of Paralongidorus were found in the rhizosphere of native vegetation on the beach at Kruccaron;e, on the Adriatic coast in Montenegro. L. igoris sp. n. is characterized by body length of ca. 5.5 mm; rounded lip region, continuous with the rest of the body, asymmetrically bilobed amphidial pouches; odontostyle length of ca. 95 µm; at mid-body vulva; equally developed female genital branches; bluntly rounded tail and absence of males. L. uroshis sp. n., a bisexual species, is characterized by body length of ca. 6.5 mm; frontally flat lip region, continuous with the rest of the body; slightly asymmetrically bilobed amphidial pouches; odontostyle length of ca. 135 µm; vulva almost at mid-body; equally developed female genital branches; bluntly rounded tail and digitate tail of the first juvenile stage. P. rnilanis sp. n. a bisexual species, is characterized by body length of ca. 4 mm; frontally flat lip region, continuous with the rest of the body; stirrup shaped amphidial pouch, odontostyle length of ca. 110 µm; slightly anterior vulva; equally developed female genital branches; bluntly rounded tail; and digitate tail of the first juvenile stage.
