Summary:During a survey of banana fields in Rwanda, eight species of Hoplolaimidae were collected, viz. Helicotylenchus dihystera (Cobb, 1893) Sher, 1961, Helicotylenchus egyptiensis Tarjan, 1964, Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb, 1893) Golden, 1956, Helicotylenchus variocaudatus (Luc, 1960) Fortuner, 1984, Hoplolaimus pararobustus (Schuurmans Stekhoven & Teunissen, 1938) Sher, 1963, Rotylenchulus borealis Loof & Oostenbrink, 1962, Scutellonema cavenessi Sher, 1963, and Scutellonema paralabiatum Siddiqi & Sharma, 1994. Except for H. multicinctus, seven are new records for the country. Morphometrics, notes and illustrations are given for four species, H. dihystera, H. egyptiensis, H. multicinctus and R. borealis, while H. variocaudatus and S. paralabiatum are described in full. Helicotylenchus affinis (Luc, 1960) Fortuner, 1984, is made a junior synonym of H. variocaudatus while Rotylenchoides attenuatus Siddiqi, 1995, and Rotylenchoides subterminalis Siddiqi, 1995, are transferred to the genus Helicotylenchus Steiner, 1945.
