Tylenchorhynchus microdorus Geraert, 1966. Dimensions: Females (n = 25): L = 0.62 mm (0. 58 -0.71); a = 24 (22 -26); b = 5.0 (4.5- 5.7); c = 12.3 (10.6-14.8); V = 56 (54-59); d = 34 (27-38); G2 = 30 (25- 36); spear = 13 jx (12-15). Males (n = 25): L = 0.61 mm (0.52-0.73); a = 27(23-31);b = 5.1 (4.3 -5.7); c = 10.7 (9. 5 -11.4); T = 55 (47 -62); spear = 14 jx (12-15); spicules = 23 u. (21- 26). This species strongly resembles T.nanus Allen, 1955. It is, on the average, longer and less slender, the spear in the male is distinctly longer, and the phasmids lie more posterior, in the Spitzbergen females at 49 % (41-60) of tail length. Moreover the tail is relatively shorter; in the Spitzbergen females it measures 2.8 (2.5-3.5) anal body widths, in the males 3.6 (2.9 -4.8). The lateral field shows the punctation described as differentiating character by Geraert, but it should be noted that occasionally this may be found in isolated specimens of other nematode species as well. It is difficult to say whether in the ... : Published as part of P. A. A. LOOF, 1971, FREELIVING AND PLANT PARASITIC NEMATODES FROM SPITZBERGEN, COLLECTED BY MR. H.
