Studies of plant and soil nematodes. 8. Two new species of Criconema (Nematoda:Criconematidae) from Queensland

Abstract

The two species described in this paper were found in soil from Eucalyptus forests. Females and larvae were obtained by carefully sorting the screenings left on 300-mesh sieves used in the Seinhorst ehrlenmeyer method; practically no specimens passed through modified Baermann funnels. In both species the distance between the stylet and opening of the dorsal oesophageal gland was measured in living females; all other measurements were made on glycerine-mounted specimens.
