Remarks. Hemicriconemoides chitwoodi was described from Camellia sp. in Florida ( Esser 1960). It has been reported from California, Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, NC and SC ( Siddiqi 1974a; Ye & Robbins 2000), as well as from China ( Wang 1993), Iran ( Afshar et al. 2006) and Japan ( Toida 1983; Hirata & Yuhara 1986). Economically important hosts include camellia in Florida, grape in California, mulberry and bonsai in Japan, jiroft in Iran, and fruit trees in China. In this study, it was found in samples taken in Cumberland County, NC, from turfgrass. Both morphology and morphometrics fit previous descriptions of this species ( Esser 1960; Ye & Robbins 2000).
