Abstract
The Gordiida species Chordodes moraisi (Carvalho, 1942 Carvalho, JC . 1942. Studies on some Gordiacea of North and South America.. Journal of Parasitology, 28: 213–222. ) and C. staviarskii Carvalho and Feio, 1950 Carvalho, JC and Feio, JL . 1950. Sobre alguns Gordiaceos do Brasil e da Republica Argentina (Nematomorpha, Gordioidea).. Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 22: 193–206. are re‐described using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Chordodes moraisi is characterized by four areole types, two of which correspond to tubercle areoles, the crown areoles appear as single structures and occur on both sides along the ventral midline. Chordodes staviarskii is characterized by a polymorphism of crowned areoles which appear as two types with distinct distribution patterns. Two species, Chordodes gestri Camerano, 1904 Camerano, L . 1904. Nuova specie di Chordodes del Guatemala.. Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, 1: 93–93. and Pseudochordodes griffinii (Camerano, 1898 Camerano, L . 1898. Gordiens du Mexique.. Bulletin de la Société Zoologique de France, 23: 73–76. ), are synonymized with Neochordodes occidentalis (Montgomery, 1898) and Chordodes peraccae (Camerano, 1894).Keywords
