Abstract
Illustrated discriptions are given of two new marine free-living nematode species of the genus Daptonema Cobb, 1920, D. paraoxyuroides sp. n. and D. balatum sp. n., found in the estuary of the Red River in North Vietnam. D. paraoxyuroides sp. n. resembles D. oxyuroides, but differs from it in its shorter and thicker body, less slender tail, shorter cephalic setae, and shorter spicules. D. balatum sp. n. differs from all known valid species of the genus Daptonema by the special structure of the copulative apparatus of males.
