Longidoridae (Nematoda: Dorylaimida) and Trichodoridae (Nematoda: Triplonchida) are commonly known as plant-parasitic nematodes, and some can transmit plant viruses. Within these two families, 17 species have been reported from New Zealand, of which, 12 species belonging to five genera are studied here. These include four Longidorus species and three Xiphinema species in the Longidoridae; one Nanidorus species, two Paratrichodorus species and two Trichodorus species in the Trichodoridae.
For each species, detailed descriptions, morphometrics and illustrations of the female, males and juveniles (if available) are given. Distribution, habitat and maps of the collection localities in New Zealand are presented. A differential diagnosis to distinguish each from other species is presented. Sequences of SSU and D2–D3 of LSU molecular characterisation and phylogenetic relationship trees are provided for four species. The plant viruses transmitted by five of the species are provided. Keys to all taxa including family, subfamily and genus for the 12 species are provided.
Of the 12 species, Longidorus elongatus, Xiphinema brevicolle, X. diversicaudatum and Nanidorus minor are the most common and widespread species. Longidorus orongorongensis and Trichodorus cottieri appear to be endemic species; L. taniwha, Paratrichodorus lobatus and X. waimungui are also indigenous to New Zealand.
