A high number of second stage juveniles of the root-knot nematode were recovered from soil samples collected from a corn field, located in Pickens County, South Carolina, USA in 2019. Extracted nematodes were examined morphologically and molecularly for species identification which indicated that the specimens of root knot juveniles were  Meloidogyne hispanica.  The morphological examination and morphometric details from second-stage juveniles were consistent with the original description and redescriptions of this species. The ITS rRNA, D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA, intergenic  COII -16S region,  nad5  and  COI  gene sequences were obtained from the South Carolina population of  M. hispanica . Phylogenetic analysis of the intergenic  COII -16S region of mtDNA gene sequence alignment using statistical parsimony showed that the South Carolina population clustered with  Meloidogyne hispanica  from Portugal and Australia. To our best knowledge, this finding represents the first report of  Meloidogyne hispanica  in the USA and North America.
