Table 1

Examples of proforma lists used when recording numerical and non-numerical taxonomic data.Abbreviations: a, b, c = De Man ratios; buccal cav.: l-dia. = length and diameter of buccal cavity; dist. = distance ; ant. = anterior; c.b.d. = corresponding body diameter; Max.dia. = maximum diameter; V% = position of vulva from anterior as a percentage of total body length.
