Camacolaimus ampullocaudatus Allgen 1959

Description

Camacolaimus ampullocaudatus Allgén, 1959

Type material. Not found.

Comments. Description and illustrations of this species do not provide sufficient information to be able to assign this species to any nematode genus or family (Allgén 1959: 168, Fig. 176a–b). As drawn, stoma appears to be tubular with uniformly sclerotized walls, and tail is conical with swollen clavate terminal part—these two characters alone place Camacolaimus ampullocaudatus outside the scope of the family Camacolaimidae. It is considered species inquirenda et incerta sedis within Nematoda.
