Abstract

The paper provides illustrated descriptions of two nematode species found in the coral reefs in Vietnam. Prochromadorella coralis sp. nov. in body size and number of supplements in males is close to P. parazugophora Kulikov et al., 1990 and P. zugophora (Blome, 1985). It differs from both species by the longer cephalic setae and structure of basal bulb of pharynx. Camacolaimus vietnamicus sp. nov. in body size is close to C. longicaudata de Man, 1922 and C. grandulosus Bussau, 1993 and differs from both species by the structure of lateral fields of cuticle, comparatively thicker of body, structure of gubernaculum and longer spicules.
