Abstract
Aphelenchoides bicaudatus (Imamura, 1931) Filipjev & Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1941, a mycophagous species, is redescribed. The male is described. Sexual dimorphism is present in the tail shape; the female tail terminus is bifurcated, whereas the male tail terminates in a single mucro. In both A. bicaudatus and A. hainanensis (Rahm, 1938) T. Goodey, 1951 females have a bifurcated tail terminus. However, A. hainanensis is 2-2.5 times longer, fairly slender, relatively shorter in esophageal and tail lengths, and males as well as females have a bifurcated tail tip.
