Rotylenchus laurentinus was found on the roots of carrots (Daucus carota L.) growing in sandy soils along the south Adriatic coast of Italy. The original description is amplified and supplemented with scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations. Much of the cuticle has a characteristic 'tiled' appearance and the male head is much 'squarer' than that of the female. R. laurentinus is semi-endoparasitic on the feeder roots of carrots and causes lesions and cavities in epidermal and cortical tissues.
