摘要
A new species of free-living marine nematode is described from intertidal sediment of the East China Sea.The new species belongs to the Oncholaimidae family.Oncholaimus zhangi sp.nov.is characterized by males having a large ventral swelling situated just posterior to the middle of the tail,no precloacal papilla,and a row of 6–7 ventral genital setae.The tails of both males and females are similar,being conico-cylindrical in shape.The new species is distinguished from other closely related species by the presence of a prominent ventral swelling at the tail of males and a similar tail shape in both sexes.About 110valid species in this genus have been recorded to date.
