AB  - Two new marine nematode species are described from intertidal sediments
   in Southern New Zealand. Setosabatieria australis sp. nov. is
   characterised by an amphideal fovea with 3.5 turns. 7-9 small
   pre-cloacal supplements, and 2-5 sub-cephalic setae per file.
   Setosabatieria australis sp. nov. differs from all known species of the
   genus in having, L-shaped spicules with a hollow median region. in
   contrast to the typical curved shape. Desmolaimus courti sp. nov. is
   characterised by the presence of four long (15 mu m) cephalic setae,
   two cuticularised rings in the buccal cavity. and a lightly
   cuticularised pharyngeal lumen. It differs from other species of the
   genus by having eight sub-cephalic setae. A total of 116 marine species
   are included in the checklist of New Zealand free-living nematodes.
   with the majority of records from the coast of Campbell and Auckland
   islands front the early part of the 20th century. Most records were
   from habitats such as seaweed or sponge, which may explain the high
   proportion (> 50%) of cosmopolitan species recorded in New Zealand to
   date. Little is known about the sediment nematode fauna. particularly
   in deeper waters (> 120 m), from where there are no records to date.
