Abstract
We describe and illustrate the free-living marine nematode Deontostoma magnificum (Timm, 1951) Platonova, 1962 (Nematoda: Leptosomatidae) as a new record of this genus from Japanese waters. Specimens examined agree well with the original and redescriptions of D. magnificum in the characters of the cephalic capsule, the buccal cavity armed with mandibles and teeth-like structures, the ocelli, and the male genital organs. We also provide partial DNA sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA genes for DNA based identification.
