Study of Tylenchorhynchus populations from IARI farm, New Delhi, showed overlapping morphological and morphometric characters with Tylenchorhynchus brevillineatus Williams, 1960(=T. indicus Siddiqi, 196l). In depth, evaluation of morphological and morphometric characters of these populations led to conclude that T. vulgaris Upadhyay et al. 1972 is synonymous with T. brevillneatus. Amended description of T. brevillineatus is discussed.
