%X <p>Four dispersal stages of the nematode <em>Bursaphelenchus mucronatus</em> (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) were surveyed in Finland during the summers 1989 and 1990 examining field collected conifer beetle (Coleopterea) adults of the following species: <em>Monochamus sutor, M. galloprovincialis, Acanthocinus aedilis, Rhagium inquisitor, Asemum striatum, Spondylis buprestoides</em> and <em>Hylobius abietis</em>. All but the last one (Curculionidae) belong to genus Cerambycidae. The two <em>Monochamus</em> species were the only ones carrying B<em>. mucronatus</em> fourth dispersal stages, total number of nematode larvae per beetle being higher in <em>M. galloprovincialis.</em> The frequency of infestation was 24% in <em>M. galloprovincialis</em> and 14% in <em>M. sutor</em> but the difference eas not statistically significant.</p>
