Morphology and taxonomy of 14 species in 11 genera of plant parasitic nematodes collected from the Solomon Islands, are presented and discussed: Eutylenchus vitiensis, Cephalenchus daisuce, Helicotylenchus erythrinae, H. hydrophilus, Criconema longulum, Ogma decalineatum, O. melanesicum, Discocriconemella limitanea, D. mauritiensis, Hemicriconemoides strictathecatus, Hemicycliophora litoralis, Xiphinema ensiculiferum and Aphelenchus isomerus. All the species except O. decalineatum and X. ensiculiferum are new records for the Solomon Islands and 4 of them (E. vitiensis, H. hydrophilus, O. melanesicum and H. litoralis) are rare and were found for the first time after their original descriptions. Boleodorus (Neobasiria) solomonensis sp. nov. from tropical rainforest soil, is characterized by its almost straight body, 550-650 µm long, head conical, lightly sclerotized, stylet 12.0-14.5 µm long, ovary with oocytes in one row, vulva at 53-58% of body length and tail elongate with rounded tip. Cephalenchus chilensis is synonymized with C. daisuce and Discocriconemella discolabia with D. mauritiensis. SEM studies of D. mauritiensis, O. melanesicum and H. litoralis are also included.
