Abstract

In a continuing study of the distribution of plant parasitic nematodes in Australian bushland soils, numerous species have been collected. These include criconematids or ring nematodes and sheath nematodes. The distribution of these nematodes in Australia is poorly known, and most records, where available, are from single soil sampies from individual sites. In this study only 5% of sites collected are represented by one soil sampie, the majority being 4-6 sampies per site. All specimens recorded are from areas of natural vegetation, many ot which are National Parks (N.P.) and State Forests (S.F.) (excluding Pinus radiata and other planted forests). The genera recorded include Pateracephalanema Mehta & Raski, 1971 and Bfandicephalanema Mehta & Raski, 1971 of the Criconematoidea, with some additional records ot Hemieyeliophoroidea.
