Rotylenchus cypriensis sp. n. (Nematoda: Hoplolaimidae) from Cyprus

During a survey of grapevines in Cyprus for plant parasitic nematodes, a new species of Rotylenchus Filipjev, 1936 was found (Antoniou, 1979), in small numbers at 6 different localities in the Limassol and Paphos region. The specimens were fixed in 4% formalin and mounted in dehydrated glycerine after being processed by the Seinhorst (1959) rapid ethanol-glycerol method.
