Thorne & Malek, 1968

Body obese, lying in an almost closed C shape when relaxed by gentle heat. Lip region truncate,three times as wide as high. Cephalic framework lightly sclerotized. Spear about 10u long with well developed knobs. Terminus minutely rounded. Ditylenchus obesus is distinctive because of the obese body which somewhat resembles an Anguina, pyriform basal bulb, elevated labia of vulva, large eggs and vulva-anus distance 1 3/4 times tail length.
