Abstract
Illustrated descriptions of two new free-living nematodes found in the Cấm River mouth in Vietnam are given. Eumonhystera rivalis sp. n. is morphologically similar to E. dispar (Bastian, 1865); E. sudanensis Zeidan et al., 1989; and E. maxima Gagarin, 1996, but differs by the presence of biocrystal-like bodies, amphid fovea located closer to anterior body end, and longer cephalic setae. Daptonema borealis sp. n. is similar to D. vicinus (Riemann, 1966); D. aquedulcis (Gagarin, 1987); and D. salinae Gagarin, Gusakov, 2014, but has shorter body, shorter cephalic setae, and spicule size.
