I i mm. This species is found parasitic in onion and hya- mm. cinth bulbs, and in a num- ber of other plants, and is very harmful. The spear, J, i. Fig. II, is shot forth by the muscles, /, and is used to puncture the cells of the host plant. The spear is tubular, and the juices of the host are sucked through the spear into the intestine by means of the bulb, c. Often referred to in literature as Tylenchus devastatrix. Habitat: Europe, America, Australia, and probably throughout the temperate regions. Fig. 776. Tylenchus dipsaci. Kuhn.
