Abstract
Illustrated descriptions of two new species of free-living nematodes Hofmaenneria baikalensis sp. n. and Paratrilobus longisomus sp. n. found in the Lake Baikal (Russia) are given. Hofmaenneria baikalensis sp. n. is close to H. keoladeoensis Khan et al., 2005, H. niddensis (Skwarra, 1921) Schneider, 1940 and H. sitnikovae Gagarin, Naumova, 2010. It differs from these three species in a presence of crystals in the body cavity and presence of three oval cardial glands. Paratrilobus longisomus sp. n. is close in the body size to P. expugnator (Tsalolichin, 1976) and P. rapis Gagarin, 1991 but it has a relatively shorter and slenderer tail and presence of subterminal seta at the tail end.
