LOCATION OF THE PHASMIDS ON INFECTIVE JUVENILES OF STEINERNEMA-GLASERI

Scanning electron microscopy revealed the location of the phasmids on infective juveniles of Steinernema glaseri. The phasmids are located a bout 40% of the tail length posterior to the anus and are at or near t he same level. Instead of being in the center of the lateral fields, t hey are located just ventral to the lateral fields, or interrupting th e ventral-most lateral ridge. The phasmids were covered often by an ex udate.
