Distribution:

California, east coast, southeast, e.g., Florida. 

Hemicriconemoides chitwoodi  reported as common as dagger nematode along north and central coastal vineyards of California. Its damage level is unknown (Chang and Raski, 1972).  However; Pinochet and Raski (1975) considered this a misidentification and described the species on grapevines in California as H. californianus.

H. chitwoodi has also been mistakenly identified as H. gaddi from camellia in Louisiana and Georgia (Pinochet and Raski, 1975).
