Brevitobrilus delhiensis n. sp. is characterized by distinct longitudinal line and very finely transversely annulated cuticle; amphidial fovea 5–6 μm wide; slender cephalic sensilla; sphincter between oviduct and uterus, indistinct spermatheca; male with robust or plump spicules with median stiffening piece, without distinct manubrium, calomus and lamina; indistinct sphincter between vas deferens and ejaculatory duct; S3, S4 & S6 relatively smaller, S6 located outside spicular range and 40–65 micropapillae in supplements region. Chronogaster inopia n. sp. is characterized in having small-sized C-shaped body, thin cuticle, absence of longitudinal and lateral lines, absence of vacuolated lateral glands, presence of crystalloids, stirrup-shaped amphids, small stoma, small post uterine sac, tail with a dorsal mucro without any further spine and absence of male.
