Overview of Daptonema species with long servical setae taken from:
"Aryuthaka, C.; Kito, K. (2018). Two new species of the genus Daptonema Cobb, 1920 (Nematoda: Xyalidae) found in an intertidal seagrass bed on the coast of the Andaman Sea, Thailand, with reference to the taxonomic status of the genus Trichotheristus Wieser, 1956. Zootaxa. 4394(1): 77"
D. setifer seems most similar, except for the lateraly projecting spines on the gubernaculum that are visible in this specimen.
