Abstract
During a survey of plant parasitic nematodes associated with native vegetation in Australia, two new species of Paratrichodorus were found. Paratrichodorus orrae n.sp. was collected from Eucalyptus woodland and P. queenslandensis n.sp, from tropical rainforest, both closely resembling P. grandis. Paratrichodorus lobatus and the closely related P. teres are studied and the six trichodorid species recorded in Australia are listed.
