Notes

A new genus and species of Duosulciinae and a new species of Pleurotylenchus are described and illustrated. Ceramotylenchus tesselatus n. gen., n. sp. is distinguished by having a cuplike oral disc, two crenate lateral incisures, absence of lateral vulval flaps, and alternating rows of blocks on the head and body that gives a tilelike appearance. Pleurotylenchus minor n. sp. is distinguished from P. sachsi by a smaller body size, more posterior vulva, shorter stylet, laterally indented head annules, and by the lateral field that begins on the first body annule.
