Abstract
Two species of the genera Aetholaimus Williams, 1962 and Ironus Bastia n, 1865 from the remote eastern Caprivi, show some remarkable morpholo gical features, which are presented here in photomicrographs. Aetholai mus trochus n.sp. can be distinguished from all other species within t he genus by its long body, long prerectum, long mural tooth, short odo ntophore and presence of males. Males of Ironus ignavus Bastian, 1865 are reported and described for the first time.
