Abstract
Helicotylenchus macrostylus n. sp. is characterized by body length (85 3-1150 mu m in females and 811-964 mu m in males), stylet length (42-4 5 mu m in females), tail length (13-24 mu m in females and 20-27 mu m in males), and posterior position of the excretory pore (179-211 mu m from front in females). Helicotylenchus dihystera (Cobb, 1893) Sher, 1 961, H. erythrinae (Zimmermann, 1904) Golden, 1956, and H. pseudorobus tus (Steiner, 1914) Golden, 1956 are new records for French Guiana. Mo rphometric data are given for these 3 species.
