摘要

Five genera of the family Actinolaimidae, subfamily Actinolaiminae are united in the a??Paractinolaimusa?? genus group. Four of them, Egtitus, Nothactinolaimus, Stopractinca and Westindicus are characterized, and their species are listed. Five new species are described with illustrations of both female and male sexes: Egtitus africanus sp. nov. from South Africa, Egtitus remotus sp. nov. from Papua New Guinea, Egtitus chilenus sp. nov. from Chile, Egtitus biformis sp. nov. and Egtitus longicaudatus sp. nov. from Papua New Guinea. The taxonomic position of Egtitus elaboratus (Cobb, 19069. Cobb, NA. 1906. Freeliving nematodes inhabiting the soil about the roots of cane, and their relation to root diseases.
