Morphology and Anatomy:

Radopholoides is characterized by the monodelphic female reproductive system, four (occasionally three) lateral lines, stylet less than 20 um long, dorsal overlap of the esophageal glands over the intestine, a conoid tail with rounded terminus, and phasmids located anteriorly in the tail region. The male has a high, rounded lip region  and  the bursa envelops the tail tip; the spicules are cephalated and pointed, the gubernaculum is about half as long as the spicule; the cloacal lips are raised and rounded (Geraert, 2013; Maria et al., 2017).

The major difference betwqeen Radopholoides and Radopholus is the absence of the posterior genital branch in females.

.

 Female:  
  • lip region  low and rounded, slightly offset from body contour; labial framework well-developed
  • distinct cuticular striation; lateral field with four incisures
  • Robust stylet, rounded knobs sloping anteriorly
  • DEGO 3.5 um posterior to stylet knobs
  • Esophagus overlapping intestine dorsally
  • monodelphic, prodelphic, squarish spermatheca,
  • vulva a transverse slit, lips not protruding
  • posterior genital branch reduced to a small post-uterine sac
  • tail conoid, tapering to a broadly-rounded terminus
  • phasmids pore-like, 6-8 body striations posterior to anus

 

Males:

  • not found
