Abstract
Redescriptions are given for Mesocriconema surinamense (De Ghisse & Ma as, 1970) Loof & De Grisse, 1989, associated with Dicorynia guianensis Amshoff and Rotylenchus caudaphasmidius Sher, 1965 associated with a species of Aspidosperma Martins & Zuccharini in a French Guiana rain f orest. These are new records for that country. Males of M. surinamense are described for the first time and are characterized by a squared l abial disc and a comparatively small bursa. Discocriconemella heynsi V an den Berg & Marais, 1995 is proposed as a synonym of M. surinamense. Discocriconemella limitanea (Luc, 1959) De Grisse & Loof, 1965 is rep orted from soil around D. guianensis.
