SCIENTIFIC AND COMMON NAMES FOR PLANT-PARASITIC NEMAS"^ 



This cross-reference listing of the scientific and common names is 

 based on the largest compilations of common names as yet available. 

 The first reference (Buhrer, E. M. 195U. Common names of some 

 important plant pathogenic nematodes. PI. Dis. Reptr. 38(8) :535-5Ul. ) 

 shoiild be carefully read by all who are concerned with this useful but 

 sometimes controversial aspect of phytonematology. The second refer- 

 ence is a chart issued by the Florida State Plant Board which, for the 

 most part, follows the listing of the reference just mentioned but, in 

 addition, lists a number of new common names to species for which no 

 common names have been designated. Perhaps the compilation presented 

 in these Notes will further promote the use of reasonably standardized 

 common names. 



The words "nematode(s)" and "nema(s)" have been used interchangeably 

 in the text of these Notes. For a review of the origins of these words, 

 derivations from them, and suggestions concerning future usage, see: 

 Chitwood, B. G. 1957. The English word "Nema" revised. Systematic 

 Zoology 6(U):18U-186.
