Gamasellodes vulgatior Athias-Henriot, 1961 View in CoL

Specimen collected — Al-ya’robiyah: One female from litter and soil under Eucalyptus sp. ,

30 March, 2017. This is the second ascid species from Syria (i.e., Gamasellodes americanus (Garman) ; Barbar, 2016). It was previously recorded from Algeria ( Athias-Henriot, 1961) and India ( Bhattacharyya and Sanyal, 2002). The biology of this species is unknown. However, several Gamasellodes species can feed and reproduce on several nematode groups in soil ( Moraes et al., 2015).
