Soil and plant parasitic nematodes are hidden enemies of agriculture due to their minute structure and are responsible for serious yield losses. During taxonomic survey on soil free living and plant parasitic nematodes from April, 2012 to March, 2015 in Maharashtra 19 species belonging to the order Dorylaimida and 9 species under Tylenchida were collected. These are identified following the keys made by Jairajpuri and Ahmad (1992) and Siddiqi (2000) for the orders Dorylaimid and Tylenchida respectively. Two dorylaimid species are newly recorded from India. Six dorylaimid and 2 tylenchid species are recorded for the first time from Maharashtra. The specimens are deposited to the National Zoological Collections of Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata with registration number. A consolidated report of 32 species under 21 genera and 11 families of Dorylaimida and 49 species under 22 genera and 11 families of Tylenchida described and recorded so far from Maharashtra till date is presented herein.

Soil and plant parasitic nematodes are hidden enemies of agriculture due to their minute structure and are responsible for serious yield losses. During taxonomic survey on soil free living and plant parasitic nematodes from April, 2012 to March, 2015 in Maharashtra 19 species belonging to the order Dorylaimida and 9 species under Tylenchida were collected. These are identified following the keys made by Jairajpuri and Ahmad (1992) and Siddiqi (2000) for the orders Dorylaimid and Tylenchida respectively. Two dorylaimid species are newly recorded from India. Six dorylaimid and 2 tylenchid species are recorded for the first time from Maharashtra. The specimens are deposited to the National Zoological Collections of Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata with registration number. A consolidated report of 32 species under 21 genera and 11 families of Dorylaimida and 49 species under 22 genera and 11 families of Tylenchida described and recorded so far from Maharashtra till date is presented herein.
