Pharynx consisting of a slender and weakly muscular anterior part, expanding abruptly into a cylindroid bulb, separated by slight constriction, occupying about 42 - 49 % of total pharyngeal length. Dorsal pharyngeal gland nuclei located at 12 - 16 % of expanded part of pharynx from its expansion. Pharyngeal gland nuclei and their orifices are located as follows: DO = 58 - 60, DN = 60 - 62, DO-DN = 1.5 - 2.5, S 1 N 1 = 74 - 76, S 1 N 2 = 79 - 81, S 2 N 2 = 88 - 90, S 2 O = 90 - 91. Nerve ring at 34 - 35 % of the pharyngeal length from anterior end. Cardia is short, conoid, about one-fifth to one-fourth of the corresponding body diameter long. Genital system mono-opistho-ovarian, didelphic. Ovary reflexed, measuring 50 - 78 μm long, not reaching oviduct-uterus junction; oocytes arranged in a single row except the near tip. Oviduct joining the ovary subterminally, measuring 57 - 82 μm, its consisting of a slender distal portion and a well-developed pars dilatata. Oviduct-uterus junction marked by the well-developed sphincter. Uterus long well differentiated, tripartite, proximal part short well-developed muscular, median part long, convoluted tube and distal part short, somewhat spheroid, measuring 96 - 109 μm. The anterior genital branch reduced to a simple sac, 34 - 69 μm or about 1.0 - 2.2 times midbody diameters long. Vagina cylindrical, extending inwards, 13.5 - 14.5 μm or about one-half (45 - 48 %) midbody diameter; pars proximalis vaginae 10 - 12 x 6.0 - 8.0 μm, its wall encircled by circular muscles; pars distalis vaginae 2.5 - 3.5 μm with slightly curved walls; pars refringens absent. Vulva pore-like. Sperm cell absent. Prerectum long, 7.3 - 10.0 and rectum 1.1 - 1.4 anal body diameter long. Tail elongated, tapering gradually and its distal part slightly bent dorsally with a rounded terminus, 4.3 - 5.8 times anal body diameter long with a pair of caudal pores on each side. Male. Not found. Juvenile (J 2). General morphology is similar to that of adults, but with the following differences. Medium sized nematodes, 1.0 mm long. Lip region cap-like, 2.1 - 2.3 times as broad as high or about one-third (29 - 34 %) of body diameter at the pharyngeal base. Functional odontostyle 0.90 times the lip region diameter long, 0.80 times the replacement odontostyle length. Replacement odontostyle 1.0 times the lip region diameter long, with its base located at 45 - 48 μm from the anterior end. Position of odontostyle forming cell nucleus at 48 - 49 μm from the anterior end and at 26 - 28 μm from the odontophore base. Odontophore simple, rod-like, 1.5 - 1.6 times of functional odontostyle length. Guiding ring simple and refractive, at 0.7 times the lip region diameter from the anterior end. Pharyngeal expansion occupying 45 - 46 % of the total pharyngeal length. Nerve ring at 33 - 34 % of the total pharyngeal length from anterior end. Genital primordia 18 - 19 µm or 0.8 - 0.9 times the corresponding body diameter long, located at 442 - 445 μm or 41 - 43 % of body length from the anterior end.	en	Islam, Md Niraul, Ahmad, Wasim (2023): New nematode Tahamina indica gen. nov., sp. nov.
