White and yellow stages of a cyst nematode were found on stunted soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in a 20-ha field at El Molino, Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, on 4 May 1983. Brown cysts were found in an adjacent maize field that had been planted to soybeans in 1982. Preserved cysts were sent to the USDA Nematology Laboratory, Beltsville, MD, where the nematode was identified as Heterodera glycines Ichinohe. Cysts have been deposited in the USDA Nematode Collection at Beltsville. As far as we know, this is the only confirmed report of this nematode in South America.
