Two new free-living marine nematodes of the family Oxystominidae are described from San Antonio Bay (Río Negro) and San José Gulf (Chubut). Litinium australis sp. n., is characterized by having a rounded tail, by the first and second crown of cephalic setae with different lengths, gubernaculum with apophysis and by the presence of at least four precloacal papillae; Thalassoalaimus nestori sp. n., is characterized by having a conical tail, cephalic setae equal in length, gubernaculum with rounded and dorso-caudally directed apophysis and two precloacal papillae. An emended diagnosis of the genus Thalassoalaimus and a key to species are given.

Two new species of free-living marine nematodes,Adoncholaimus daikokuensissp. nov. andA. pseudofervidussp. nov., from the coastal area of northern Japan, are described and illustrated.Adoncholaimus daikokuensissp. nov. is similar to five congeners,A. derjugini,A. punctatus,A. oxyuroides,A. squaluscomb. nov. andA. filicaudacomb. nov. in the absence of a gubernaculum, but differs in the absence of a ventral swelling on tail, spicule length and buccal cavity length.Adoncholaimus pseudofervidussp. nov. is similar toA. fervidusin having large body size, short tail, similar positions of the excretory pore and nerve ring, short spicules, arrangement of subventral setae in posterior region of body in males, and a single pair of terminal pores of the Demanian system surrounded by small gland cells in females.Adoncholaimus pseudofervidussp. nov. differs fromA. fervidusin having smaller, more anteriorly located amphids, longer buccal cavity, absence of gubernaculum in the male, and a different position of the terminal pores in the female. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochromecoxidase subunit I gene (309-337 bp) of the new species are provided for identification based on the DNA barcoding method.Metoncholaimoidesis proposed as a junior synonym ofAdoncholaimus. The new diagnosis ofAdoncholaimusand a key to species are provided.Adoncholaimus squaluscomb. nov.,Adoncholaimus filicaudacomb. nov., andAdmirandus papillatuscomb. nov. are proposed.

Three new species of free-living marine nematodes: Oncholaimus multisetosus sp. nov., Sabatieria stenocephalus sp. nov. and Setosabatieria coomansi sp. nov. from the Yellow Sea, China are described and illustrated. The male of Oncholaimus multisetosus sp. nov. is characterized by a tail sharply constricted at the junction of the conical and cylindrical sections; two circles of 12–15 pairs of circumcloacal setae each. In the female, the conical section of the tail gradually tapers in a cylindrical section. Sabatieria stenocephalus sp. nov. is characterized by the pronounced sharp-pointed anterior body, sclerotized tooth-like front edge of buccal cavity and 15 tubular-shaped precloacal supplements with the posterior five more closely spaced. Setosabatieriacoomansi sp. nov. can be separated from the other species of the genus by the number (6–8) of cervical setae per file, the number of precloacal supplements (15) and the absence of central strips in spicules and leaf-like extensions of the cuticle lateral to the cloaca. Types are deposited in the College of Marine Life Sciences, Ocean University of China.

Two new free-living marine nematodes belonging to the family Thoracostomopsidae, subfamily Enoplolaiminae and the generaEpacanthionare described from Patagonian coastal areas, Río Negro and Chubut provinces of Argentina. InEpacanthion bicuspidatumsp. nov. the main features are: two cusps on distal mandible end; presence of two rings of eight setae in the cervical region; and eight crown-shaped setae along the body, presence of one supplement distant two cloacal body diameter (cbd) from cloacae, gubernaculum and short spicule.Epacanthion ampullatumsp. nov. is characterized by having a tubular and long pre-cloacal supplement, short spicule, presence of gubernaculum, presence of three long setae on the tip of the tail, the presence of one supplement distant three cbd from cloacae and the presence of two small cusps on the distal end of the mandible.
