Family
Lauratonematidae
Gerlach, 1953
Diagnosis
(emended from
Lorenzen 1981
)
Cuticle distinctly striated. Metanemes absent. Outer labial setae and cephalic setae arranged in one circle. Amphideal fovea non-spiral, pocket- or club-shaped. Buccal cavity usually cuticularized; funnel-shaped pharyngostoma, sometimes with small teeth, cheilostoma cylindrical, shallow or deep. Secretory-excretory system either restricted to pharyngeal region or extends further posteriorly. Female reproductive system monodelphic with anterior reflexed ovary to the left of the intestine; vulva located very close to anus (
Lauratonemoides
) or ending in the cloaca (
Lauratonema
and
Lauratonemella
).
Male
reproductive system monorchic or diorchic, posterior testis always to the right of the intestine; precloacal supplements absent. Spicules short, straight or only slightly bent; gubernaculum present or absent. Caudal glands lie completely within the tail. Tail conical or conicocylindrical.
Type
genus
Lauratonema
Gerlach, 1953
.
Remarks
Lorenzen (1981)
states that this family is characterised by a monorchic male reproductive system; however, more recent species descriptions (
Tchesunov 1984
;
Fadeeva 1989
;
Chen & Guo 2015
) show the presence of two opposed testes in some
Lauratonema
,
Lauratonemoides
,
and
Lauratonemella
species. The family was revised by
Tchesunov (1984)
, who provided a key to species of the family.
