title: New records of paratylenchus micoletzky, 1922 from Brazil with descriptions of two new species (tylenchulidae: nemata).
abstract: Six species of Paratylenchus Micoletzky, 1922, two of them new, are reported from the Amazon Basin of Brazil. P. colbrani is reported for the first time in Brazil. Extended ranges, along with additional measurements and descriptions, are given for P. leptus, P. salubris, and P. perlatus. P. mimulus Raski, 1975 is synonymized with P. salubris Raski, 1975. P. flectospiculus n. sp. is distinguished by four lines in the lateral field, short stylet (21-24 mum), and spicules with distinct distal bend ventrad. P. rostrocaudatus n. sp. is distinguished by three lines in the lateral field, short stylet (15-16 mum), and beaked tail terminus.
