The subfamily Merliniinae and its genera Merlinius, Geocenamus, Nagelus and Scutylenchus are re-diagnosed. Tetylenchus is considered as genus dubius. New combinations proposed for species transferred from Merlinius or Tylenchorhynchus are as follows: Nagelus leptus for Merlinius leptus (syn. Nagelus aberrans), N. affinis, N. alpinus, N. camelliae, N. conicus, N. grandis, N. hexagrammus, N. jamalensis, n. kirjanovae, N. lineatus, N. macrodens and N. superbus; Scutylenchus cylindricaudatus, S. hexincisus, S. koreanus, S. lenorus, S. quadrifer, S. rugosus, S. sobolevi, S. stegus, S. tartuensis and S. tessellatus. Merlinius processus n.sp. is described from specimens imported into England from Holland on hydrangea planting material. Merlinius loofi n.sp. is proposed for Loof's (1971) Tetylenchus joctus from Spitzbergen and M. joctus is re-described from type-specimens. Amplimerlinius globigerus n.sp. is described from England and Yugoslavia.
