Several populations of Xiphinema pachtaicum (Tulaganov, 1938) Kirjanova, 1951 and Xiphinema simile Lamberti, Choleva et Agostinelli, 1983, originating from various localities have been studied during 2011-2012. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 20-40 cm in the rhizosphere of grapevine, cherry and apple trees. The identification of the nematodes was based on morphological and morphometrical characters. Descriptions, including morphometric data and illustrations of adults (females and males) and juveniles from different localities and plant associations are provided. Data of X. pachtaicum and X. simile males are provided for the first time for Romania. Both species occurred together in two locations. Malus pumila Mill and Prunus avium L. are new plant association for these nematodes species for Romania.
