ABSTRACT
Rhigonema nesoboli sp. nov. (Nematoda Rhigonematidae) is described from the gut of Nesobolus piedra (Diplopoda Rhinocricidae) from Eastern Cuba. The new species is character‑ ized by the body length of both sexes; the cephalic collar umbelliform; the microtricha large, fine, backwardly directed, extending until the first portion of the intestine; the tail compara‑ tively long and subulate in the female and elbowed in the male; the genital tract of Type 4; a number of 19‑21 copulatory papillae arranged as 6‑7 pre-cloacal pairs with a single median adanal papillae and three post-cloacal pairs; and the spicules arcuate and comparatively slen‑ der. It is closer to R. villosum Hunt, 1995, but differs by having a shorter body in both sexes and less copulatory papillae 19‑21 vs. 27‑31. This is the first Rhigonema recorded for Cuba with a genital tract of Type 4.
