Meloidoderita polygoni n. sp. is described and illustrated from roots of smartweed (Polygonum hydropiperoides) from Beltsville, Maryland. This new species is similar to M. kirjanovae but differs especially in having larger spines on the cystoid bodies, females with the anus much closer to the vulva, and more posterior excretory pore. M. polygoni differs from M. safrica particularly in having females with a shorter stylet, a DGO much closer to base of stylet, greater distance between vulva and anus, and larger cystoid bodies. LM and SEM observations showed only three incisures in lateral fields of juveniles and males and no bursa in males. Morphometric data and illustrations are given for M. kirjanovae from mint (Mentha longifolia) in Israel and some details on a limited number of specimens from Armenian SSR. LM examination of juveniles from both these areas indicated only three incisures in lateral fields. Males from Israel had no detectable bursa and appeared to have only three incisures in lateral fields. (Males from Armenian SSR not observed.).
多穗蓼根结线虫新种（Meloidoderita polygoni n. sp.）是从马里兰州贝尔茨维尔的水蓼（Polygonum hydropiperoides）根部分离并描述和图示的。这个新种与基氏根结线虫（M. kirjanovae）相似，但特别不同之处在于其囊状体上有更大的刺，雌虫肛门更靠近阴门，排泄孔更靠后。多穗蓼根结线虫与南非根结线虫（M. safrica）的不同之处尤其在于雌虫口针较短，背食道腺开口（DGO）更靠近口针基部，阴门与肛门之间的距离更大，以及囊状体更大。光学显微镜（LM）和扫描电子显微镜（SEM）观察显示，幼虫和雄虫的侧区只有三条侧线，雄虫没有交合伞。给出了来自以色列薄荷（Mentha longifolia）的基氏根结线虫的形态测量数据和图示，以及亚美尼亚苏维埃社会主义共和国有限数量标本的一些细节。对这两个地区幼虫的光学显微镜检查表明，侧区只有三条侧线。来自以色列的雄虫没有可检测到的交合伞，侧区似乎也只有三条侧线。（未观察到来自亚美尼亚苏维埃社会主义共和国的雄虫。）
