Abstract

Two intersexes of Hirschmanniella shamimi are described and illustrated for the first time from soil samples around rice roots in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. The two intersexes have developed female reproductive organs as well as rudimentary male sexual characters. A checklist of intersexes in plant nematodes is also given here.
