Abstract
Infective stages of Steinernema glaseri (Steiner, 1929) (Steinernemati dae), and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1975 (Heterorhabditida e: Nematoda) were found in soil samples in Cabrils, Catalogne, Spain. The populations of both entomophagous nematodes present the same morph ological and morphometric characters as those of the original descript ion and other known populations. The presence of S. glaseri is reporte d for the first time outside the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Lab oratory tests show that the isolated populations of entomophagous nema todes are highly pathogenic among insects induced diseases in regional crops.
