: Basiria graminophila Siddiqi, 1959

Synonyms:

Morphology and Anatomy:

Key to the genera of the family Tylenchidae

Females:

Monodelphic, spermatheca present

Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:

Refer to subfamily diagnosis (Tylenchinae).

Distribution:

Reported from The Netherlands, Poland (Bert and Geraert, 2000).

Feeding:

Ectoparasites of plant roots, root hairs, algae, etc.

Yeates et al. (1993a) described Basiria as plant feeders (algal, lichen (algal or fungal component), or moss feeders that feed by piercing), or hyphal feeders.

Yeates et al. (1993b): classified Basiria spp. as "plant associated", indicating that they were found in the rhizospheres of plants.
