Classification:

Tylenchida; Tylenchina; Tylenchoidea; Tylenchidae; Tylenchinae
: Coslenchus polonicus Brzeski, 1982

Synonyms:

Morphology and Anatomy:

Key to the genera of the family Tylenchidae

Refer to subfamily diagnosis (Tylenchinae).

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

Economic Importance:

Probably fairly small. Most reports are about occurrence and abundance rather than documenting any effects on growth.

Feeding:

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

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

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