Aphelenchoides saprophilus Franklin, 1957

A. saprophilus was described as being commonly found in rotting plant tissues (Franklin 1957) and has been found parasitizing garlic ( Allium sativum L., Amaryllidaceae) on which it could be an important pest (Singh et al. 2013). This nematode was intercepted from Aralia sp. ( Araliaceae Juss.) at ports in Canada (Sewell 1977) and from Festuca vaginata Waldst. & Kit. ex Willd. clumps ( Poaceae) (Krnjaic & Krnjaic 1976) but a parasitic relationship with these plant species needs to be confirmed.
