Notes

A new bisexual spiral nematode, Helicotylenchus urobelus, is described and illustrated. It is differentiated from its closest relative, Helicotylenchus erythrinae, by the more prominent ventral tail projection and narrow annules on the tail end of the female. The male is readily identified by the size and shape of the spicules, the rounded, nonmucronate tail terminus, and peloderan bursa.
