Abstract
In the study of virus vector nematodes of the family Longidoridae in Spain during the last six years, we have used the polytomous key by Romanenko modified by Hooper for the identification of Longidorus spp. It was proposed to use a computer program to conveniently manage the great quantity of data involved. Such a program was recently published for Longidorus (Rey et al., 1988), and for Tylenchorhynchus and Merlinius (Rey & Mahajan, in press).
