description
The second group of specimens has the amphids 1.4 - 2.7 head widths from the anterior end and is here regarded M. filiformis. Dimensions of 14 females: L = 0.29 - 0.50 mm; a = 27 - 37; b = 4. 1 - 5.4; c = 3.5 - 4.7; V = 1 4 ~ 2152 - 59. Diameter of amphids 1.2 - 2.5 \ i or 25 - 40 % of corresponding body width. This form is slenderer than M. vulgaris. Length of tail equal to 9 - 14 anal body widths. The vulva-anus distance is 59 - 91 % of tail length. The oesophagus in this form is relatively longer; the vulva on the average lies more anterior, contrary to the findings of Micoletzky (1914). A difference in development of lips between vulgaris and filiformis could not be observed. Samples 16, 24, 26, 30, 31, 33, 34, 57, 60, 61, 65 and 66.
