Abstract
This paper contains taxonomic keys for the identification of species of the genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis. Morphometrics of certain life stages are presented in data tables so that the morphometrics of species identified using the keys can be checked in the tables. Additionally, SEM photographs and diagnoses of the families and genera of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae are presented.
Keywords: entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis, Heterorhabditidae, identification, nematode, Neosteinernema, SEM, Steinernema, Steinernematidae, taxonomy
