Abstract

The present paper reports 43 species of free-living marine nematodes belonging to 32 genera and 10 families from eighteen localities of the Andhra Pradesh Coast. Of these, 22 species are reported for the first time to Andhra waters. A detailed systematic account of the species is presented in this paper.
