discussion
Many representatives were found of the filiformis-vulgaris complex. These two species are difficult to separate; Wieser in his list of species (1956) does not mention M. vulgaris; Micoletzky (1925) suggests that these species may be variants of a single species. The Spitzbergen material falls into two groups. The first has the amphids 1.0 - 1.6 head widths from the anterior body end and is here regarded as M. vulgaris. Dimensions of 23 females: L = 0.33 - 0.64 mm; a = 19 - 27; b = 4.7 - 6.9; c = 3.4 - 4.3; V = 23 ~ " 56 - 61. Diameter of amphids 2.0 - 2.5 [i. or 18 - 20 % of the corresponding body width. The tail measures 8 - 10 anal body diameters. Vulva-anus distance is 48 - 65 % of tail length. Dimensions of two intra-uterine eggs: 38 - 42 x 14 - 16 y .. Samples 5, 8, 27 and 65.
