چکیده

A 16.4-ha arca at the Michigan State University Water Quality Research Site was surveyed to obtain information on the habitats and prominence of taxa of the Criconematinae. Fifteen species representing six genera (Macroposthonia, Lobocriconema, Criconema, Crossonema, Nothocriconema, and Xenocriconemella) of this subfamily were recovered from the experimental site. Species occurrence and population densities were evaluated by using prominence and importance values. The Criconematinae was one of the most prominent and important nematode subfamilies recovered from this area. The species successfully inhabited a broad range of woodlot and field vegetations, and soil management groups. Taxa of the Criconematinae were generally more prominent in woodlot than in field vegetations, although with several important exceptions, especially within the genus Macroposthonia. The second-most prominent and important species recovered was an tandescribed species of Lobocriconerna. It is described as Lobocriconema thornei n. sp., including scanning electron micrographs of females, and descriptions of several of the juvenile stages.

Species discovery and diversity in Lobocriconema (Criconematidae: Nematoda) and related plant-parasitic nematodes from North American ecoregions.

There are many nematode species that, following formal description, are seldom mentioned again in the scientific literature. Lobocriconema thornei and L. incrassatum are two such species, described from North American forests, respectively 37 and 49 years ago. In the course of a 3-year nematode biodiversity survey of North American ecoregions, specimens resembling Lobocriconema species appeared...

Criconema proclivis n. sp. from soil around roots of woodland trees in the northeastern USA is described and illustrated. It is characterized by a total of 67-74 annules, two naked offset head annules, a stylet length of 68.7 -80.7 mu, a sculpted vulval flap, and forward-projecting body annules. The annules at midbody are covered with a continuous fringe of 60-70 spines.
