The new species is distinguished from closely related species Tylnchorhyncnus ewingi Hooper, 1959, and T. nudus Allen, 1955. Anoterh new species Helicotylenchus bajoriensis n.sp. is characterized by having close `c' shape body when killed, body lingth=0.61-0.90 mm, a=31-38, b=8.0-9.7, b'=7-8, c=38-60, c'=0.75-1.2, V%=57-63, sperar length=22-28 æm , dorsal oesophageal gland opening located 12-16 æm, from base of stylet knobs, head conoid, continuous with body contour marked by three annules. Stylet knobs anteriorly directed , tail cylindrical with rounded terminus. The new species is distinguished from closely related species.
