Desmodora bilacinia Leduc & Zhao 2016

Desmodora bilacinia Leduc & Zhao, 2016 Fig. 14, Table 4 Diagnosis Desmodora bilacinia is characterised by eight longitudinal rows of somatic setae of medium length (3–8 μm), eight subcephalic setae present on cephalic capsule, unispiral amphidial fovea, males with two precloacal supplements consisting of thin, rounded cuticular extensions and two rows of thick subventral setae extending from precloacal supplements to near tail tip, and non-annulated tail tip with perforations covering anterior third to two-thirds. Material examined NEW ZEALAND • 2 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀; Kermadec Islands, Raoul Island (off Western Spring); 29.22992° S, 177.96448° W; depth 16 m; 22 Nov. 2021; coarse sand and gravel sediments, voyage TMOR2021, station 85; NIWA 154954. Type habitat and locality Coarse sand and gravel sediments under a small boulder, lower intertidal zone, Greta Point, Wellington, New Zealand (174.80251° E, 41.30442° S). Remarks The male Raoul Island specimens agrees well with the description of the species based on the Wellington specimens by Leduc & Zhao (2016) in almost all respects. The Raoul Island specimens, however, are characterised by smaller ratio of c (11–15 vs 16–25 in the Wellington specimens) as well as somewhat larger amphids (in males: 52–62 vs 49–52% wide in the Wellington specimens; in females: 42 vs 35– 40% cbd in the Wellington specimens) (Table 4).
