A new genus and species of the marine parasitic nematode Abos bathycola gen. et sp. n. are described. The diagnosis of the new order Marimermithida with one family Marimermithidae Rubtzov et Platonova including 6 genera of marine parasitic nematodes is given. The new order resembles the order Mermithida in its extraintestinal feeding but differs from it in the following characters. The mouth, oesophagus, rectum and anus are reduced or absent. The mid-gut is transformed into trophosome, without lumen as a rule. If the lumen is present, no food is traced in the trophosome. The location of rudiments of oesophagus, chords, undeveloped trophosome, rudiments of rectum, if present, is consecutive. Stichosome is absent in contrast to the order Mermithida, in which it is well developed and is located in parallel with trophosome. Nematodes of the new genus are parasites of marine invertebrates unlike mermithids which are parasitic in land and freshwater arthrpods and sometimes in mollusks.
描述了一种海洋寄生线虫新属新种——深海阿博线虫（Abos bathycola gen. et sp. n.）。给出了新目海索线虫目（Marimermithida）的诊断，该目包含一个海索线虫科（Marimermithidae Rubtzov et Platonova），其中有6个海洋寄生线虫属。新目在肠外取食方面类似于索线虫目，但在以下特征上与之不同。口、食管、直肠和肛门退化或缺失。中肠转化为营养体，通常无腔。如果有腔，则在营养体中未发现食物。食管原基、索、未发育的营养体、直肠原基（若存在）的位置是连续的。与索线虫目不同，新属线虫没有吻针，而索线虫目的吻针发育良好且与营养体平行排列。新属线虫是海洋无脊椎动物的寄生虫，不像索线虫科的线虫寄生在陆地和淡水节肢动物中，有时也寄生在软体动物中。
