Extract

In a paper recently published (Lee, 1961) I described as new two species of freshwater nematodes. Since that paper was published my attention has been drawn to papers by Andrassy (1959, 1960) and Meyl (1957) and to the fact that I did not give a differential diagnosis, without which the specific names are not valid. The keys given by Thorne & Swanger (1936) and by Thorne (1939) were used initially to try to identify the specimens, which were compared with various species recorded up to 1956 in the Zoological Record. They have since been re-examined in the light of Andrassy's papers, (1959, 1960) and Meyl's (1957). Re-examination of the specimens showed that the guiding ring of Dorylaimus keilini is double (Fig. 1) and not single, as was originally figured (Lee, 1961).
