Abstract

Two new species of Helicoty lenchus are described and illustrated. H. reversus sp. n. is characterized by body 0.64–0.69 mm long, 4–5 lip annules, spear 25–28 μlong, phasmids 3–10 annules anterior to level of anus and tail equal to one anal body diameter long, curved dorsally with a pointed terminus. H. caudatus sp. n. is characterized in having a body 0.52–0.61 mm long, 3–4 lip annules, spear 25–28 μm long, phasmids 0–7 annules anterior to level of anus and tail equal to one anal body diameter long with a projection at terminus.
