Remarks
- Structure: Body pale pink, elongate, subparallel-sided, reaching 2 mm in length. Segments of legs thickened, especially, hind femora. Hind femur and tibia with translucent pores. Anal ring with 1 (paired in places) row of pores. Circuli absent. Multilocular pores abundant over whole body, densest along margin of body. Tubular ducts with wide and deep collar, forming stripe along ventral surface of body, singular on 3 posterior abdominal sternites. Setae on most part of body surface short, fine, flagellate; those on posterior abdominal segments thicker and longer. (Danzig & Gavrilov, 2013a)
- Biology: Occurring on the roots and in the leaf sheaths of the host plant. Life history and natural enemies discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tereznikova (1975), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F) and by Tang & Li (1988). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992). The illustration in Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F) has incorrectly drawn tubular ducts (Kozár personal communication).
