Abstract

Based on SEM studies, additional data on the cuticle, structure and extension of the microtricha, cephalic end, arrangement of the pre-cloacal copulatory papillae and spicules of the males of Ichthyocephalus victori García & Fontenla, 2002 (Nematoda: Ichthyocephalidae) are provided. Such data are compared with I. cubensis Spiridonov, 1989 and I. anadenoboli  Van Waerebeke, Adamson & Kermarrec, 1984; the only species with previous SEM studies.
