Studies on soil nematodes of Manipur - VIII: Two new species of Dorylaimellus from the hills of Manipur

Two new species, Dorylaimellus (Dorylaimellus) himilus sp.n. and Dorylaimellus (Belondorylaimellus) chakpilus sp.n were found at Chakpikarong, a hill station of Manipur. D. (D.) himilus has 0.39–0.50 mm long body, a = 26.7–31.4, c = 25.3–31.3, odontostyle = 6.4–8.8 μm, amphidelphic gonad and subcylindrical tail. D. (B) chakpilus has 0.57–0.60 mm long body. a = 34.8–37.6, b = 3.2–3.5, c = 13.9–15.6, odontostyle = 5.6–7.2 μm, expanded part of oesophagus 52.8–54.9% of total oesophageal length, amphidelphic gonad and elongate dorsally convex conoid tail.
