Abstract The plant parasitic nematode fauna was examined from
the soil and roots of six subtropical crops. Six nematode species not
previously reported in New Zealand were discovered:
Criconema annuliferum
(de Man, 1921) Micoletzky, 1925;
Crossonema civellae (Steiner, 1949)
Mehta & Raski, 1971;
Helicotylenchus paraplatyurus Siddiqi, 1972;
Paratylenchus elachistus Steiner, 1949;
Scutellonema brachyurus
(Steiner, 1949) Andrassy, 1958; and
Zygotylenchus guevarai (Tobar
Jimenez, 1963) Braun & Loof, 1966. Six pest:host relationships, not
previously recorded in New Zealand, are proposed:
Pratylenchus crenatus
on the hosts
Passiflora edulis and
Cyphomandra betaceae,
Pratylenchus penetrans and
Zygotylenchus guevarai on
P.
edulis,
Tylenchulus semipenetrans on
Diospyros kaki, and
Meloidogyne hapla on
Persea americana.
