Summary

Two species of Discocriconemella, one new and one previously described, were found in the Fiji Islands. D. caudaventer n.sp., from the rhizosphere of cocoa, Theobroma cacao L., is characterized by its reflexed tail and shape of the tail terminus. D. discolabia (Diab & Jenkins, 1966) de Grisse, 1967 is redescribed from the Fijian populations, the male for the first time.
