Gordius nixus sp. nov. is described as a new species from Pakistan. It is the first record of a gordiid nematomorph from Pakistan. It was found on snow, which is unusual for nematomorphs.
So far, no further life cycle data or host records can be given. The new species resembles other Gordius species, but is characterized by a dense covering of spines in the anterior body region, which is unique among the genus Gordius.
