Abstract: Enchodelus brasiliensis Meyl, 1957 Enchodelus brasiliensis Meyl, 1957; Meyl (1957) BLR: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10997965 Enchodelus brasiliensis; Eliava and Eliashvily (1990): 53, 97 BLR: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11003031 Enchodelus brasiliensis; Peña-Santiago (2021 b): 206 BLR: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo. 11191887 Distribution This is the only member of genus Enchodelus of Neotropical nematode fauna: Brazil (type habitat: wet sand - Meyl (1957)). Taxon discussion This species is the only representative of genus recorded from the Southern Hemisphere (Brazil), an interesting biogeographical singularity. Originally described on the basis of one female and three male specimens, Andrássy (1971) transferred it to Rhyssocolpus, but it better fits the Enchodelus diagnosis (very slender odontostyle, odontophore with flange-like extensions, short pharyngeal bulb, convex conoid tail).
