description
Two juveniles. Dimensions: L = 0. 16 - 0.19 mm; a = 8 - 10; b = 2.5 - 2.6; R = 70 - 71; spear = 33 - 38 jx. Annules with eight alternating rows of broad, rounded scales. This would point rather to the genus Hemicriconemoides (see de Grisse & Loof, 1965) but this is a mainly tropical genus and in the Spitzbergen specimens head shape is more reminiscent of Criconema and Nothocriconema. Tail tapering, acute. Sample 27.
