Description of the freeliving marine nematode Dracognomus tinae n. sp. Draconematiodea: Prochaetosomatidae
A new freeliving marine nematode is described: D. tinae n.sp. from the Belgian Coast. Its light microscopical characters are described and figured and its differential characters discussed. the presence of one ventral row of spine-like setae on the posterior half of the body turned out to be a generic feature. It is an atypical nematode having an "S"-shaped body and strongly differentiated somatic tubes presumed functioning partly to secrete a material (together with caudal gland cells) that attaches the tubes and the tail tip to the substrate allowing the animal to move in an inchworm-like ma...
