abstract = {3D printing technology has showed its importance in many fields. In present study, the potential of such technique in zoological systematics was assessed. For the first time, 3D printed models were incorporated in the description of a new genus as a complement to pictures and drawings to illustrate complex 3D structures and to be used in education. Hereby, we also tested the performances of different printing materials and forwarded resin as the most suitable option for the zoological field. As a case study, Labrys chinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. was described using an integrative approach: detailed morphology based on light- and electron microscopy, phylogenetic position as revealed from two ribosomal RNA genes, generic traits were tested for homoplasy, and the intra- and inter-population variations of four recovered populations were analyzed. The new genus belongs to subfamily Tylenchinae, family Tylenchidae and infraorder Tylenchomorpha. It is characterized by unique labial plate that has four narrow lobes with tips detached from adjacent cuticle, laterally broad elongated amphidial apertures, a strong sclerotized excretory duct, round spacious postvulval uterine sac, and spicule with a sharp protrusion at blade.}
