Remarks.
Tylenchorhynchus claytoni
was described from soil around roots of tobacco in SC by
Steiner (1937)
. It has been recorded from 10 countries in Europe,
6 in
Asia,
1 in
Africa,
2 in
North
America
,
1 in
Central
America
, and
1 in
Oceania (CABI 2009). In the
USA
, it occurs in 25 states (
Barker & Clayton 1973
;
Lucas
et al
. 1974
; CABI 2009).
Tylenchorhynchus claytoni
occurred commonly in turf soils from Rhode Island (
Troll & Tarjan, 1954
), Massachusetts (
Troll & Rohde 1966
) and NC (
Lucas
et al
. 1974
). In the present study, it was recovered from 25 counties in NC and SC. It was found in three turf management zones (green, fairway and tee) and three grass species (bermudagrass, creeping bentgrass, zoysiagrass) in SC and two turf management zones (green, fairway) and two grass species (bermudagrass and creeping bentgrass) in NC. The morphological features and morphometrics of these populations did not differ from previously described populations (
Steiner 1937
;
Loof 1974b
;
Golden
et al
. 1987
).
