Photo Gallery- Konza Prairie
1.3 mm; a = 26; b = 3.6; c = 36; V = 55
Body slightly arcuate in posterior fourth.  Lip region angular, set off by deep constriction.  Guiding ring refractive, sclerotized.  Spear 15u long with aperture 3/7 of length.  Esophagus enlarged near middle with rather abrupt expansion.  Esophageal glands typical of the genus.  Cardia a disc, then cylindroid.  Vulva transverse with sclerotized labia.  Prerectum length 1 1/2 times body width, rectum slightly longer than anal body diameter.  Tail dorsally convex conoid to slightly digitate terminus.
Eudorylaimus sodakus is distinctive because of its small size, rather long spear aperture, sclerotized vulva labia and tail form.
Habitat:  Soil about roots of Ponderosa pine, Custer State Park and native sod from roadside park near Hammer, South Dakota.
The specific name is composed of the first letters of South Dakota.
