This contribution presents a redescription of three Labronema species originally described from Italy: L. angeloi, L. carusoi and L. pulchrum. Their type material is re-examined, described and illustrated with line drawings and micrographs. New information about these species is provided, including morphometrics and relevant morphological features. Morphologically, the three species form a homogeneous group, but can be separated by significant differences in the structure of female genital system, cuticle thickness on the tail, and shape and size of the spicules. Labronema pulchrum is regarded as a junior synonym of L. duhouxi.
