Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
Described from packaging wood imported into China from Spain. Also reported from declining Pinus massoniana in China.
As Aphelenchoides stammeri, the type species was originally isolated from Spondylis buprestoides and wood of damaged pine and spruce trees (Gu et al., 2021)..
Can be cultured on fungus.
Morphologically, in having a well-sclerotised stylet with wide lumen,.P. stammeri resembles tsome predatory Aphelenchoididae: Seinura spp. and the Ektaphelenchinae genera, Ektaphelenchus, Ektaphelenchoides and Devibursaphelenchus (Gu et al., 2021)
