Description
Summary:Plectus cf. armatus Biitschli, 1873. Two females. Dimensions: L = 0.52-0.61 mm; a = 18-19; b = 4. 1-4.3; c = 8.5-10.0; V = 8 - 12508 - 1 0. Through small body size, value of 'a' and by the normal location of the amphids these specimens differ from P. assimilis, which they resemble in the general body shape and the short, conoid tail. They resemble P. armatus, but the cephalic setae do not have the typical shape and direction of that species as redescribed by Maggenti (1961): they are directed obliquely sideward and are not thickened at the base. Sample 33,42 and 67. Published as part of P. A. A. LOOF, 1971, FREELIVING AND PLANT PARASITIC NEMATODES FROM SPITZBERGEN, COLLECTED BY MR. H. VAN ROSSEN, pp. 1-86 in Mededelingen Landbouwhogeschool Wageningen 71 on page 50, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.8152982
