Description

Genus Saveljevia Filipjev, 1927

The genus Saveljevia was designated by Filipjev (1927) who originally described four species: Saveljevia kolaensis Filipjev, 1927, Saveljevia curvidens Filipjev, 1927, Saveljevia xiphonchus Filipjev, 1927 and Saveljevia clavicauda Filipjev, 1927. In this genus, the head is built quite differently from species to species, but showing some resemblance, especially with the dorsal tooth always much shorter. Later, Saveljevia hastata Wieser, 1953 was described and the author suggested that Enoplolaimus spissignathus Allgén, 1940b is synonym of S. curvidens and classified S. clavicauda as Parasaveljevia clavicauda. Subsequently, Saveljvia cornuta Gerlach, 1956c was described. The entire genus is composed of females and juveniles.
