Tylenchida Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Tylenchidae Atylenchinae
Coslenchus Siddiqi, 1978
Type species ofg the genus: Coslenchus costatus (de Man, 1921) Siffiqi, 1978
Synonyms: Cosaglenchus (Siddiqui & Khan, 1983) Paktylenchus (Maqbool, 1983)
Coslenchus differs from the genus Aglenchus in having a strongly-striated cuticle with longitudinal curicular ridges and in having a postvulval sac (Geraert, 2008).
Longitudinal ridges in cuticle
Refer to subfamily diagnosis (Atylenchinae).
The type species of the genus, C. costatus (de Man, 1921) Siddiqi, 1978 was described from specimens obtained from moist soil around plant roots on the bank of the River Mark in Breda, the Netherlands (Hosseinvand et al., 2019).
Yeates et al. (1993) considered Coslenchus: (epidermal cell and root feeders).
