Abstract

The paper provides an illustrated description of a new nematode species Enoploides medius sp. nov., discovered in the coral reefs of Vietnam. The new species is morphologically similar to E. gryphus Wieser, Hopper, 1967, but can be distinguished by its comparatively thicker body, shorter outer labial setae, and distinct gubernacular morphology.
