The systematicpositionsofthetwogeneraarediscussed,since Desmotersia apparently forms a link between Selachinematidae and Desmodoridae. Desmotersia levinae is characterized by a variety of spiny ornamentations anteriorly formed by bipartite spines arranged into a fin-like picket fence,by a head with anasymmetrical cephalic capsule, presence of two closely spaced ventral longitudinal rows of copulatory thorns,and by 2–4 ventral thorns in mid-tail positions on the male. The interaction between the new species and its habitat is discussed.}, author = {Neira, C. and Decraemer, W.}, doi = {10.1016/j.ode.2008.09.004}, journal = {Organisms Diversity & Evolution}, note = {NeMys doc_id: 17887}, issue = {1}, pages = {1.e1-1.e15}, title = {Desmotersia levinae, a new genus and new species of free-living nematode from bathyal oxygen minimum zone sediments off Callao, Peru, with discussion on the classification of the genus Richtersia (Chromadorida: Selachinematidae)}, url = {http://marbef.org/data../aphia.php?p=sourcedetails&id=151762}, volume = {9}, year = {2009} }
