Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy revealed the location of the phasmids on infective juveniles of Steinernema glaseri. The phasmids are located about 40% of the tail length posterior to the anus and are at or near the same level. Instead of being in the center of the lateral fields, they are located just ventral to the lateral fields, or interrupting the ventral-most lateral ridge. The phasmids were covered often by an exudate. Key words: infective juvenile, morphology, nematode, phasmid, Steinernema glaseri.
