Redescription of Steinernema scapterisci Nguyen and Smart, 1990: (Steinernematidae)
Article Main
Abstract
Present communication deals with redescription of the insect parasitic nematode, Steinernema scapterisci Nguyen and Smart, 1990, collected from the mole cricket, Gryllotalpa africana at Khurja, district (U.P.). The original description suffers from some morphological variations in the testis, tail and vulvular region.
