Remarks. Xiphinema chambersi was described from specimens collected in Virginia (Thorne, 1939). It has been recorded in Arkansas ( Robbins et al. 1987; Ye & Robbins 2010), Florida ( Tarjan 1974; Lamberti et al. 2002), Iowa ( Norton & Hoffmann 1974; Norton et al. 1982), Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnisota, NC, New Jersey, SC, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and West Virginia ( Norton et al. 1984), and in Canada ( Yu et al. 2010), Japan ( Yokoo, 1970; Shishida 1983) and Korea ( Choi et al. 1992). In the present study, X. bakeri was found in bermudagrass fairways in Lee County, NC. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from those of previously described populations ( Ye & Robbins 2010).
