Abstract
Safianema gen.n. is proposed under Anguininae, family Anguinidae. It differs from Di-tylenchus in having esophageal glands forming a long diverticulum over the intestine. It is compared with Pseudhalenchus whose diagnosis is amended. Safianema lutonense gen.n., sp.n. is described from peaty soil under oak in Luton, England. Safianema anchilisposomum (Tarjan, 1958) comb.n., 5. damnation (Massey, 1966) comb.n., and 5. hylobii (Massey, 1966) comb.n. are proposed for species previously in Pseudhalenchus. Discotylenchus gen.n. is close to Filenchus but has a strongly tapering lip region with a distinct disc at the apex. Two new species of this genus are described—D. discretus (type species) from apple and cabbage soils at Damascus, Syria, and D. attenuatus from bush soil at Ibadan, Nigeria.
