Extract

The genus Neoaplectana now contains eleven species of nematodes. All are associated with insects. A brief review of the history of the genus is given. An undescribed species referred to as DD-136 is compared with one other species in the genus Neoaplectana. It is very similar to the description given for N. carpocapsae Weiser, and it is concluded that it is probably this species.
