Mesocriconema Andrássy, 1965

This genus had been originally created to accomodate species of the genus Criconemoides which have crenate (notched or scalloped) margins in the annuli of the body. However, some species also have smooth margins. Around 90 species are now regarded as belonging to this genus. They are typically around 0.5 mm long. Mesocriconema xenoplax is an important agricultural pest that is widespread and infests mainly the roots of fruit and nut trees.
