Abstract
Five species of free-living marine nematodes are redescribed and illustrated as new records in the Yellow Sea of China. These species include one monhysterid,Campylaimus gerlachi in the family Diplopeltidae and four enoplids species,Oxystomina elongata, Oxystomina elegans, Halalaimus lutarus andHalalaimus wodjanizkii in the family Oxystominidae. E-cological and taxonomic remarks are provided and discussed in comparison with the original description. The key to all known species of the genusCampylaimus is given. Our findings have offerred the taxonomic information of nematodes to the benthic ecology and biodiversity studies of the Yellow Sea.
