Paratylenchus pemoxius collected and reared on Sorghum vulgare L. is less than 0.4 mm long and has lateral fields with 4 incisures, 4 distinct submedian lobes around oral opening, a short stylet 13.5-16.0 (14.7) um long, excretory pore 0-2 annules anterior to hemizonid, vulva at 80-86 (83.3) per cent of body, female tail straight, 18-25 (21.3) urn long having a smooth, conoid-rounded terminus and males with 18-21 (20) urn long spicules and a regularly tapering, straight tail with conoid-rounded terminus. Paralongidorus duncani collected around roots of fallow plants and reared on Sorghum vulgare L. has females with a small body 1.67-2.29 (2.03) mm long, small odontostyie and odontophore (40-45 (43.5) urn and 37-46 (41) urn long, respectively), vulva at 45-49 (46.8) per cent of body, tail 42-54 (47.6) urn long and regularly tapering to a rounded terminus, males with spicuJes 28-31 (29.7) urn long and juveniles with only three developmental stages. Longidoroides Khan, Chawla & Sa ha, 1978 has been synonymized with Paralongidorus and thirteen new combinations have been proposed.

INTRODUCTION and fixed in FP 4 : 1 (Netscher & Seinhorst, 1969), and mounted in dehydrated glycerine on glass slides. During studies on ecology of nematodes from Sahelian For scanning electron microscopy the nematodes were zone of West Africa (Baujard, 1986), two new species of killed by gentle heating at 60°C for 30 seconds and processed plant-parasitic nematodes were identified in Senegal. They by the method of Baujard & Pariselle (1987). have been reared on Sorghum vulgare L. in the laboratory and are described here as Paratylenchus pernoxius sp. n. and Para SYSTEMATICS longidorus duncani sp. n. The latter species was first identified Paratylenchus pemorius sp. n. as belonging to the genus Longidoroides Khan, Chawla & (Figs 1 & 2) Saha, 1978, but a comparison with the paratypes of Paralongi dorus sali Siddiqi et al., 1963, the type species of Paralongido Measurements rus Siddiqi, Hooper & Khan, 1963, convinced us that it is a Holotype female: L 0.36 mm; a 24; b 4.6; c 15; c' species of Paralongidorus.
