The new records are in 11 genera: Criconemella, Geocenamus, Gracilacus, Hemicycliophora, Helicotylenchus, Merlinius, Paratylenchus, Pratylenchus, Trophonema, Trophurus, and Tylenchorhynchus. Other nematode genera found were Anomyclus, Aphelenchoides, Aphelenchus, Coslenchus, Ditylenchus, Heterodera, Hoplolaimus, Megadorus, Meloidogyne, Paratrichodorus, Psilenchus, Trichodorus, Tylenchus, and Xiphinema.
