Deskripsi
A new species, <i>Belbolla mangrove</i> sp. nov., isolated from the mangrove wetlands of Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces in China, is described and illustrated. <i>Belbolla mangrove</i> sp. nov. is characterized by a pharynx with four bulbs, a small gubernaculum with a short dorsocaudal apophysis, four weakly developed precloacal supplements, a conico-cylindrical tail with a terminal spinneret, and the absence of terminal setae. This new species differs from <i>B. vietnamica</i> by the absence of ocelli and the blunt and rounded proximal ends of the spicules. The 18S rDNA GenBank accession numbers of <i>B. mangrove</i> sp. nov. are provided.
