Taxonomy and morphology of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with turfgrasses in North and South Carolina, USA Author Zeng, Yongsan Author Ye, Weimin Author Tredway, Lane Author Martin, Samuel Author Martin, Matt text Zootaxa 2012 3452 1 46 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.210165 90f5f5d1-4ae3-4cc0-87b6-fb2ed5263ef5 1175-5326 210165 Scutellonema brachyurum ( Fig. 2 F–H) Measurements . See Table 3 . Remarks. Scutellonema brachyurum was described from red spiderlily ( Lycoris radiata ) in Hamlet, Richmond County, NC, and was also documented in SC ( Kraus-Schmidt & Lewis 1979 ). CABI (2006) recorded S. brachyurum in six countries in Europe, 11 in Asia, 15 in Africa, two in North America ( Canada , USA including Arkansas, California, Florida, NC, SC), four in Central America and the Caribbean, four in South America , and five in Oceania. A series of studies on the host range of S. brachyurum in South Africa was carried out from 1988 to 2001 ( Waele & Jordaan 1988a ; 1988b ; Bolton et al . 1989 ; Jordaan et al . 1992 ; Venter et al . 1992 ; Fourie et al . 2001 ). Tarjan (1964a) reported it on bermudagrass in Egypt . Agudelo & Harshman (2011) first found it on lilyturf ( Liriope muscari ) in SC. In the present study, S. brachyurum was found only in Beaufort County, SC, in samples from a bermudagrass putting green. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from other populations ( Siddiqi 1974b ). TABLE 2.
