Abstract
Sixty-two species of free-living nematodes have been found in samples from four artificial reservoirs in Vietnam; one genus and eleven species are new for science. The dominant species are Dichromadorageophila (de Man, 1876); Sabatieriafoetida Gagarin, Nguyen Vu Thanh, 2008; Paradontophorafluviatilis Gagarin, Nguyen Vu Thanh, 2008; and Terschellingia longicaudata de Man, 1922. A species list of nematodes is provided, accompanied by an illustrated description of new species from the family Sphaerolaimidae: Parasphaerolaimus stagnalis sp. n. and Megalamphis vietnamicus sp. n.
