Abstract:

Examination of the fine structure of the body cuticle of Trichodorus cylindricus. T. nanjingensis, T pakistanensis, T primitivus, Paratrichodorus anemones, P. hispanus. P minor, P pachydermus, P. porosus and P. teres revealed three distinct types. each characterised by differences in layers 4 to 6. A new description is provided for layer 5 and the presence of intracuticular canals and hemidesmosomes as types of anchoring structures for the epidermis are discussed.
