Two females. Ecology and distribution. Representatives of this genus are terrestrial nematodes (edaphobionts) known from the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America ( Andrássy 1968 , 2009b ). It is likely that they occur accidentally in water bodies. Not previously known from Vietnam . Remarks. In terms of size and general body morphology, the specimens from Vietnam are closest to the species P. mahunkai ( Andrássy, 1968 ) Andrássy, 2009 described from Paraguay ( South America ). However, we failed to conclusively attribute them either to this or to any other known species of the genus ( Andrássy 1968 , 2009b ).
