Caudotylenchus n. gen. is a newly erected nematode genus under the subfamily Telotylenchinae of the family Telotylenchidae with the type species Caudotylenchus indicus n. gen., n. sp. All the members belonging to this subfamily are plant-parasitic in nature and the current species has been described from West Bengal, India in association with banana (Musa paradisiaca L. cv Chapa). Caudotylenchus indicus n. gen., n. sp. is a small nematode species, measures 0.68-0.85 mm; characterized by inverted club shaped, overlapping oesophageal gland; narrow, rounded-conoid, continuous, feebly sclerotized lip region; long stylet with well-developed basal knob, conus and straight lumen; lateral fields marked with five incisures; didelphic, amphidelphic ovary; transverse slit-like vulva; unannulated female tail terminus; simple bursa; and forwardly directed gubernaculum.
