| Abstract |
Cenolaimus sapeloensis sp. nov. from clean sand in the Georgia Bight is described. The diagnostic characteristics of the species are the small amphids, short cephalic setae, and lack of long setae at base of spinneret. Xenolaimus pauroamphus sp. nov. from the locality is described. Diagnostic characteristics of this species are the small amphid and the absence of a gubernaculum. The occurrence of Xyala striata is reported, and specimens from Georgia Bight are described. A key to the genera of the subfamily and the species of Cenolaimus, Xenolaimus, and Xyala is presented. |
