Description :
Lip region hemispherical, mar ked by 4-5 annules. Anterior cephalids indistinct,
pesterior cephalids 7-B annules belo w the lip region. Stylet knobs indented anteriorly.
Excretory pore anteriorto oesophago-intestinal junction. Hemizonid 0-2annules from excre
torypore, 2annules long. Spermatheca offset, filled with sperm. Tail dorsally curved,
tapering gradually to a conspicuous ventral projection with a pointed tip. Phasmida 1.3
annules anterior to anus.
Bemarle1:
The present population identified as H. ery1krinae resembles with its tepotypes
described by Sher ( 1 966 ) in having same body dimensions, shape of head, number of head
annules,length of stylet, functional spermatheca and tail with a pronougced ventral projec
tion. However, the West Bengal specimens have slightly robust tail projection than
repor e
t d by Sher ( 1966) in topotypes and Sauer & Winoto (1975) in Malaysia population.
Apart rf om this, Sher (I. c. ) has also reported the position of phHmid& 2 annules postericir
to4 annules anterior to anus.
Perhaps he could study more variation because he wH
having more specimens.

Dirc1C1ain :
Helieosylenchus belurensis was described by Singh & Khara (1980) and distinguished
from H. microcephalvs by the fol lowing characters : 1the outer margin of lateral field
being
aerolated, the outer incisuces being crenate and the inner two ineisures not fusing on the
tail, spermatheca being filled '!Vith sperm and vale of c:
from the National Collection of Zoological Survey of India, reveals that the outer bands of
the lateral fields are non-areolated, the outerincisurep are smooth throughout the whole !e"'Qth,
and the spermatheca is offset but without sperm.
In the type
38
&

of H btluren sis remains thatthe inner incisures do not fuse in the tail region. In view of
recent reports ( Nimdakumar & Khera, 1970; Siddiqi,1972; Ali es al 1973; Sauer & .Winoto,
1975;a nd others including the present studyof H. dihyslera, (Fig. 1-C & D) regarding the
variability In the patternof terminationof inner two incisures in the genus Helicoiylenchua,
this single character can not be treated as of diagnostic importance. The study of t he se
specimens confirm that H. btluren1ia is morphologically identicalof H. microcephalua. H en ce,
H. belurensisis here proposed as new synonymof H. microcephalus.

Body spirally curved upon fixation. Cuticle 1.5-2.0 m thick, marked with distinct

marked by 4-5 annules. Outer margins of labial framework extending posteriorly for
1-2 body annules. Anterior and posterior cephalids respectively 2-3 and 7-9 annules

Hemionid 02 annules from the exeretory pore, 1.5-2.5 annules long. Stylet 3.6-4.3
times the head width. Stylet knobs flattened ( 30%) or indented ( 70% ) anteriorly.
Dorsal oesophageal gland opening 8.5- 11 0 .m below the base of stylet. Vulva a
transverse slit. Vagina about 1 /2 of the correponding body.width. ReprodHctive system
outstreched except in one specimen where the anterior part of ovary is ref lexed ( Fig.
4. F). An. egg enclosil'lg first stage larva measures 78 x 28 .m. Oocytes arranged in
one or two rows except in the multi19licatiof1 area. Spermatheca well developed or less
precise, without sperm. Rectum one half to almost one anal body- width long. Tail
with a well developed ventral projection ad the charaateristic indentation at dorsal
terminal part of the tail, marked by 6-12 annules ventrally. The inner pair of incisurea
fuse near the middle of tail and the ventral projection enveloped in cuticular fold
originating from the terminal region gf the lateral fields. The size of the cuticular fola-like
structure Cilepends upon the position of the pecimen.
MorphfJmelric and allometric characiers : The various morphomatric and allemetric
characters of adults (female ) have been furnished in Table Ill. The. position of
median oesophageal bulb, excretory pore and vulva are sigflificantly correlated with body
length. The Coefficient of correlation are respectively R=0.900, 0.943 and 0.992.
Fig. 5 shows relationship of body length with position of median bulb, excretory
pore and vulva . . The length of stylet (R=-=0.474), oesophagus (ft=0.052), gonads ( R 0.787)
and tail (ll==0.714) are not significantly correlated with the body length.

Among all the morphometric and allometric characters analysed, the less variable
characters (C.V.3%) were the length of stylet, tt-le value of V, and value of m. The
characters which showed a high degree of variability (C.V.>10% were length of genital
branches, vulva I body-width, value of G 1 and G 51, value of c', tail annules, and the position of
phasmids. The markedly variable characters (C V =7-10%) were length of body-width
of lateral fields, position of median bulb, values of a and c, and length of tail, All the other
characters were moderately variable (C,V. ranging from 4-6%).
The above observations on adult females of HalicotylenchuB crenacauda show that the
length of stylet and the value of V are least variable. These observations are in conformity
with those of Bird Et Mai (1967) on Trichodorus chri1tei Allen, 1957; Azmi Et Jairajpuri (1978)
on Helicatylenchus indiaus Siddiqi, 1963 ; Rashid Et Khan (1978) on Pratylenchus c" ffeae
(Zimmermann, 1898) Filipjev Et S. Stekhoven, 1941; Baqri Et Ahmad ( 1981) on Tyle nch or
hynshus nuds Allen, 1955 ; and others.
Juveniles:

First stage juve nile : Body enclosed in egg shell in three flexures (Fig. 4, F). Lip
region and cuticle smooth. The outer wall of oesophagus and its inner cutioular lining

16m.
Helicotylenchua pleracercus
H, arenacauda,
44
Of
Chaturvf!di & Khera (1979) . described a new s pecies H. indentalua from Burdwan,
W. Bengal. The study of the paratypes of H. indmtaeus has revealed that some of
the characters on which Chaturvedi Et Khera (1979) separated their species from H.
crenacf&ucla were overlapping i. 9, a=22-24 and C=33-41 against a=!4-29 and C=33-52
in H. crenacaud.i. In addition, spermatheca'.with sperm and sloppii.g stylet knobs
against spermath'lca without sperm and styletl knobs anteriorly indented in H. crenacauda
were the oter two distinguishing characters used by them. We h ave noted that sper
matheca i1 alw&ys without sperm, the stylet knob are either flattened or indented
anteriorly. The report of Chaturvedi & Khera that all the feur inciaures appear passing
round the tall'tip could not be confirmed in the type specimens of H. inclentalus. Three
paratype females of H. indentalua w ere sent t o er. P. A. A. loot for comparison with
paratypes of H. crenacauda. He agreed that both the sptcies are identical in every
respect including the fusion of inner incisures at tail tip. H. indeatalus is here proposed
as a new synonym of H. crenaacuda.
Sultan ( 1981) has described H. parapteracercus form LoP1gthobol, Imphal, Manipur
(India). He has distinguished this species from H. crenaeauda and H. pteractrcus in
having more lip annulea, longer stylet, anteriorly indented stylet knobs .and different
manner of termination of inner pair of incisures at tail ti p . The other distinguishing
characters used by him (value of 0, ventra! overlap of oesophageal gland lobe, posi
tion of phasmids and excretory pore) have been found variable characters in morphome
tric studies. Our present study reveals that H. parapeeracertu also comes within the
range of variaticms noted by us in H. crnacaula except the differently manner of
fuaion of inner incisures - at tail tip, distinct and more number of lip annules. Since
H. pitrac.ercuB' has been considred a synonym of H creacauda_ and H. ,paral!teracereus
was descrilied es an itermediate species, we feel that H. parapleracercus is probably
a symanym of H. crenacauda. However, the described pattern of termination of inner
two inci sures at tail in the type specimens of H. parapteracercus tip and number of
lip annules/need further confirmation. Unfortunately, the type specimens could riot be
traced.
