Morphology and Anatomy:

Female:

Male:

  • Body vermiform, anterior end tapering and posterior region bluntly rounded.

  • Lip region slightly offset from body, with a high lip region cap consisting of a large labial annulus. Medial lips and labial disc are bow-tie shaped. Lateral lips large and triangular, slightly lower than labial disc and medial lips.

  • Amphidial openings appear as long, wide slits located between labial disc and lateral lips.

  • Post-labial annulus divided into four lobes by longitudinal slits.

  • Stylet robust and straight, one lateral knob projected, two others sloping posteriorly.

  • Distance from base of stylet to DEGO 5±1 um.

  • Procorpus distinctly outlined, three times longer than metacorpus. Metacorpus ovoid, with a strong valve apparatus.

  • Excretory duct curved.

  • Lateral field with four incisures forming three bands, areolation along whole body.

  • One testis, occupying 58% of the body cavity.

  • Spicules slightly curved ventrally, with bluntly rounded terminus. Gubernaculum short and crescent-shaped

Distribution:

Described from Robusta coffee in the Western Highlands of Vietnam

Economic Importance:

Coffee roots display symptoms that are atypical of those caused by other root-knot nematodes. There is a large number of egg masses protruding outside the roots, and numerous small, white galls on adventitious roots (Trin et al., 2019).

Feeding:
