Remarks. Paratrichodorus allius was described from Oregon by Jensen (1963). It has been recorded in Washington ( Mojtahedi & Santo 1999), Chile ( Aballay & Eriksson 2006), Israel ( Waele & Cohn 1992), and Hong Kong ( Xie & Feng 1996). In this study, P. allius was found in seven counties in NC and SC, in creeping bentgrass putting greens in both states and in bermudagrass fairways and tees in SC. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from the original description. This is the first record of P. allius from turfgrasses in NC and SC.
