Thorne, Gerald, 1929, Nematodes from the Summit of Long's Peak, Colorado, Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 48 (2), pp. 181-181 : 186

Dorylaimus uniformis n. sp.

Diagnosis:

The uniformly separated supplementary organs of the male distinguish it from practically all other Dorylaims. The two circlets of cephalic papillae differentiate it from D. alpinus Steiner ( 7) which has only one circlet. It may be identical with the form described by Seiner ( 8) as D. acnticandatus . Lips not set off by constriction. General body characters quite similar to D. carteri .

Esophagus enlarged in posterior half. Vulva conspicuous. Front ovary on the left, the rear on the right, side of the body and reflexed half their length. The prerectum is about twice as long as the rectum. The number of male preanal papillae varies from fourteen to eighteen on the specimens examined.

Numerous specimens in the collection. Fig. 6 a-c.
