Abstract

Two species of Haptoglossa isolated from nematodes from cow manure from N.E. England are described. H. erumpens sp. nov., infecting Bunonema nematodes, is aplanosporic, the cysts being released after rupture of the nematode cuticle in the absence of an evacuation tube. H. dickii sp. nov. is zoosporic, infecting several species of rhabditid nematodes. Aplanospores and zoospore cysts germinated to produce secondary spores (gun cells) with which to infect further nematode hosts. Some key ultrastructural features in both species have been included.
