Three new and two known species of free-living marine nematodes of the family Ironidae from the East China Sea are described and illustrated. Conilia sinensis sp. nov. is identified by the relatively large body size (1883-2399 µm); the well developed lips; the number, shape and length of spicule (single and striated, length 87-100 µm as arc); the shape of telamon; the number of supplements (1)....
