Abstract
Scabiosa caucasica has been found affected by a new species of Aphelenchoides, herein described and named A. blastophthorus. The symptoms of disease are destruction of the inflorescences and distortion of the leaves with reduction of the laminae. Similar symptoms were produced in scabious by experimental infestation. The nematode can infest teazle (Dipsacus fullonum), but has not been found naturally occurring on any host but scabious.
