- Abstract
The article presents a key to all ten world species of Makatinus and describes new species, which appear to be the second record of the genus Makatinus from West Bengal, India in the existing literature. The new species is described on the basis of those characters that are diagnostic in the genus Makatinus and are helpful in the identification of species such as short robust body, cuticle with distinct punctations, slightly set off labial portion by a shallow constriction with amalgamated lips, robust odontostyle with aperture of about one-half length, a thin cardiac disc, short tongue-shaped cardia, longitudinal sclerotized vulva and tail with small peg-like or hyaline tail-tip.
