Genus Cobbionema Filipjev, 1922

Type species

Cobbionema acrocerca Filipjev, 1922

Diagnosis

Four cephalic setae conspicuously longer than the outer labial sensillae, buccal cavity surrounded by anterior pharyngeal bulb. Male with two testes pointing anteriorly and reflexed posterior testis. Short conico-cylindrical tail.

Remarks

Cobbionema cylindrilaimoides ( Schuurmans-Stekhoven, 1950) was synonymised with C. acrocerca by Gerlach (1964) in his review of the Selachinematidae . Species descriptions were until now all based on female specimens only.
