Criconemoides hemisphaericaudatus Wu, 1965 (Fig. 13, A -B). One female. Dimensions: L = 0.51 mm; a = 13; b = 3.4; c = 28; V = 5493. Spear length = 84 pi. Rex = 36; RV = 10; Ran = 6; R = 116. Tail very bluntly rounded, posterior end of body tapering hardly, almost cylindroid. The annules 98 -115 show lateral indentations. There are occasional anastomoses, one to three together. Head end rounded, submedian lobes very small. The posterior margin of the annules is very finely crenate. Vulva apparently slightly open; the vagina runs almost transversely in its distal part. The posterior edge of the prevulvar annule is modified slightly, suggesting a small ornamentation on the anterior vulva lip in agreement with Wu's fig. 14. Two very small juveniles (L -2 or L -3), one damaged. L = 0.23 mm; spear = 37 -40 ji.; gonad primordium = l i p.; Rex = 42, R = 127 (n = 1). Annules crenate with rather many anastomoses. This species is very close to C.morgensis (Hofmänner & Menzel, 1914) with which it was considered ... : Published as part of P. A. A.
