Remarks

Our study of M. laminatus (Wu, 1969) and that by Anderson (1977) establish that this species has longitudinal body striae, a tubular stylet conus, open vulva, apparently lacks deirids, and has a strongly offset head with six longitudinal grooves. In these characters it is more closely related to species of Scutylenchus Jairjpuri, 1961, as emended by Siddiqi (1979), and is therefore proposed as a new combination in Scutylenchus. (ref. ID; 7200)
