Abstract
A revised polytomous key is presented for the identification of the 10 3 valid species in the genus Longidorus Micoletzky, 1922. The key is b ased upon the one by Romanenko (1978) using female characters (shape a nd width of lip region, shape of tail, length of body and odontostyle, distance of guiding ring from head end, index ''a'') with the additio n of amphid shape. The occurrence of males is also indicated. The spec ies are listed, along with species synonymized, species renamed becaus e of homonymy, species removed from the genus, and species inquirendae .
