Abstract: This paper provides descriptions of two new Aporcelaimellus species. Aporcelaimellus amazonicus sp. n. from Brazil is characterized by its size ranged between 1.5 and 2 mm, unusually narrow vulval lips, very thick vagina, and tail measuring one to one and a half anal body widths and possessing a sharply pointed projection. Aporcelaimellus insularis sp. n. from the Seychelle Islands is characterized in having very robust body less than 1.5 mm, heart-shaped vulval lips, very short prerectum and half an anal body width long, mammillate tail. The shape of tail is particularly characteristic for both species.
