Measurements. See Table 15 .

Remarks. Longidorus paralongicaudatus was described from sandy soil around American elm ( Ulmus Americana ), maple ( Acer ), and oak ( Quercus ) trees in Arkansas, and in Georgia, Iowa and Tennessee ( Ye & Robbins 2003). In this study, L. paralongicaudatus was found only in a bermudagrass tee in Beaufort County, SC. The morphology and morphometrics of the identified population did not differ from original description. This is the first record of L. paralongicaudatus from turfgrasses in SC.
