Abstract
The plant parasitic nematode fauna was examined from the soil and roots of six subtropical crops. Six nematode species not previously reported in New Zealand were discovered: Criconema annuliferum (de Man, 1921) Micoletzky, 1925; Crossonema civellae (Steiner, 1949) Mehta & Raski, 1971; Helicotylenchus paraplatyurus Siddiqi, 1972; Paratylenchus elachistus Steiner, 1949; Scutellonema brachyurus (Steiner, 1949) Andrassy, 1958; and Zygotylenchus guevarai (Tobar Jimenez, 1963) Braun & Loof, 1966. Six pest: host relationships, not previously recorded in New Zealand, are proposed: Pratylenchus crenatus on the hosts Passiflora edulis and Cyphomandra betaceae, Pratylenchus penetrans and Zygotylenchus guevarai on P. edulis, Tylenchulus semipenetrans on Diospyros kaki, and Meloidogyne hapla on Persea americana.
