On February 15, 2015, a stunted rooted cutting of Okinawan spinach or Gynura bicolor (Roxb. ex Willd.) was found in a vinyl house nursery at Suemachi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture (36 deg 30 min 55.8 sec N 136 deg 41 min 38.4 sec E, 152 m). After visual examination of the damage, nematodes were collected from root samples using a Baermann funnel method and a large number of root-lesion nematodes, Pratylenchus sp., were obtained. The cultivated field of Okinawan spinach at Kashimimachi, Kanazawa City (36 deg 29 min 20.3 sec N 136 deg 42 min 02.4 sec E, 265 m), where the rooted cuttings were transplanted, was also later revealed to be contaminated by the nematode species. The isolated root-lesion nematode materials were sent to the NARO, Agricultural Research Center, and the species was concluded to be a Pratylenchus species previously unrecorded from Japan. The morphological characters and measurements are given for the species herein.
