Measurements. See Table 14 View TABLE 14 .

Remarks. Loofia thienemanni was described from a compost heap in Bergen-op-Zoom, the Netherlands ( Schneider 1925). It has been reported from France, Italy, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland ( Brzeski 1974; Kuiper 1977), South Africa (Van den Berg 1987), Argentina ( Chaves 1983), the Solomon Islands ( Coomans et al. 1985), Greece ( Koliopanos & Vovlas 1977), and Czechoslovakia ( Valocka & Sabova 1978). In this study, L. thienemanni was detected only in Charleston County, SC, in a bermudagrass fairway and a zoysiagrass tee. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from those previously described ( Brzeski 1974). This is the first record of L. thienemanni from turfgrasses in SC.
