( Fig. 6 G–H)

Measurements. See Table 10 .

Remarks. Paratylenchus goldeni was described from specimens collected from boxwood ( Buxus sp.) in Salemburg, NC. In this study, it was found in a centipedegrass turf area sampled in Cumberland County, NC. No males of P. g o l d e n i were found, although seven males were observed in the original description (Raski 1975). The morphology and morphometrics of the females fit with the original description.
