A compendium of the most important diagnostic characters for use in identification of species is included as a practical alternative and supplement to the key. The diagnosis of Merlinius is emended and a list of all valid species of the genus is given. The characters most useful for separating species include body and stylet lengths, shape of head, tail and tail terminus, number of head and tail annules, position of vulva (V), and c ratio in females. Also useful are length and shape of spicules and gubernacula in males. A new stunt nematode, Merlinius khuzdarensis n. sp., from the rhizosphere of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) from Khuzdar, Balochistan Province, Pakistan, is described and illustrated. This new species resembles M. bavaricus, M. communicus, M. bilqeesae and M. montanus, but differs from these species by the following: body and stylet length, shape of head, tail and tail terminus, number of head and tail annules, and position of phasmids. Because this species is limited in distribution, its economic importance in date palm and other cultivated crops within the region is not known. Keywords – Balochistan, identification, Khuzdar, morphology, morphometrics, stunt nematodes, taxonomy. The genus Merlinius was established by Siddiqi (1970) the subfamily Telotylenchinae in the family Belonolaimi- to accommodate those forms previously in Tylenchorhyn- dae.

Among the identified species, Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and Swarup, 1968 of Telotylenchidae Siddiqi, 1960 is a new record from Iran and the isolate is described and illustrated based on morphological, morphometric, and molecular characteristics. The phylogenetic tree inferred from partial sequences of the 28S rRNA (D2D3 segments) grouped the Iranian isolate with other T. zeae sequences, forming a strongly supported clade (Bayesian posterior probability: 100%). T. zeae is reported here for the first time on Ziziphus zizyphus for Iranian nematofauna. Additional morphological and molecular information is also provided for other species including Amplimerlinius globigerus, Merlinius brevidens, Pratylenchoides alkani, P. ritteri, Scutylenchus rugosus, S. tartuensis, and Trophurus impar from B. vulgaris, C. sativus, and Z.

Amplified product size from individuals of each isolate was approximately 700 bp. All Midwestern isolates gave distinct restriction digestion patterns. Isolates identified morphologically as Belonolaimus longicaudatus from Florida, South Carolina, and Palm Springs, California, were identical for ITS1 restriction patterns.

Molecular techniques were also used for further identification of three plant parasitic species. Indicators of population were also estimated. Spiral nematodes (Helicotylenchus crenacauda Sher, 1966 and H. digiti- formis Ivanova, 1967) and stunt nematode (Tylenchorhynchus agri) were the predominant parasitic species identified.

WERGIN 1 Nematology Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected], [email protected]) and 2 United States National Parasite Collection, and Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: A survey of the nature and phylogenetic distribution of nematode vulval appendages revealed 3 major classes based on composition, position, and orientation that included membranes, flaps, and epiptygmata. Minor classes included cuticular inflations, protruding vulvar appendages of extruded gonadal tissues, vulval ridges, and peri-vulval pits. Vulval membranes were found in Mermithida, Triplonchida, Chromadorida, Rhabditidae, Panagrolaimidae, Tylenchida, and Trichostrongylidae. Vulval flaps were found in Desmodoroidea, Mermithida, Oxyuroidea, Tylenchida, Rhabditida, and Trichostrongyloidea. Epiptygmata were present within Aphelenchida, Tylenchida, Rhabditida, including the diverged Steinernematidae, and Enoplida. Within the Rhabditida, vulval ridges occurred in Cervidellus, peri-vulval pits in Strongyloides, cuticular inflations in Trichostrongylidae, and vulval cuticular sacs in Myolaimus and Deleyia. Vulval membranes have been confused with persistent copulatory sacs deposited by males, and some putative appendages may be artifactual. Vulval appendages occurred almost exclusively in commensal or parasitic nematode taxa. Appendages were discussed based on their relative taxonomic reliability, ecological associations, and distribution in the context of recent 18S ribosomal DNA molecular phylogenetic trees for the nematodes.

  • Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Germany – an Annotated Checklist

Their current taxonomic status and classification is given, which is not always in agreement with that applied in Fauna Europaea or recent publications. Recently used synonyms are included and comments on the species status are sometimes added. Species originally described from Germany are particularly marked, presence of types and other voucher specimens in the German Nematode Collection - Terrestrial Nematodes (DNST) is indicated; likewise potential occurrence or absence of species in field soil and similar cultivated land is noted. Species known from indoor plants and only occasionally observed outdoors are listed separately. Synonymies and species considered as species inquirendae are listed in case records refer to Germany; records and identifications considered as doubtful are also listed. In a separate section notes on a number of genera and species are added, taxonomic problems are indicated, and data on morphology, distribution and habitat of some recently discovered species and of still unidentified or undescribed species or populations are given. Longidorus macroteromucronatus is synonymised with L. poessneckensis. Paratrophurus striatus is transferred as T. casigo nom. nov., comb. nov. to the genus Tylenchorhynchus.

Ik mag mijn dankwoord schrijven, iets waar ik stiekem al heel lang naar uitkijk en dat alleen maar kan betekenen dat mijn doctoraat bijna klaar is. JOEPIE! De voorbije 5 jaar waren zonder twijfel leuk, leerrijk en ontzettend boeiend. Maar… jawel doctoreren is ook een project van lange adem, met vallen en opstaan, met zin en tegenzin, met geluk en tegenslag, met fantastische hoogtes maar soms ook laagtes….Nu ik er zo over nadenk en om in een vertrouwd thema te blijven: doctoreren verschilt eigenlijk niet zo gek veel van een composteringsproces, dat bij voorkeur trouwens ook veel adem (zuurstof) ter beschikking heeft.

  • JOURNAL of NEMATOLOGY a New Stunt Nematode, Geocenamus
    JOURNAL OF NEMATOLOGY Article | DOI: 10.21307/jofnem-2020-042 e2020-42 | Vol. 52 A new stunt nematode, Geocenamus chengi n. sp. (Nematoda: Merliniinae) in the rhizosphere of tea (Camellia sinensis) from Zhejiang Province, China Munawar Maria1, Wentao Miao1, 2 1,3, Pablo Castillo and Jingwu Zheng * Abstract 1Laboratory of Plant Nematology, Institute of Biotechnology, College The tea plant is native to China; the country has the greatest tea of Agriculture & Biotechnology, production areas in the world. In an attempt to investigate the Zhejiang University, Hangzhou nematode biodiversity associated with the tea plantations of 310058, Zhejiang, P.R. China. Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, a population of stunt nematode was detected. This group of nematodes is comprised of migratory 2Institute for Sustainable ecto-parasites of roots and can subsist on a variety of host Agriculture (IAS), Spanish National plants. Therefore, the detected population was studied carefully Research Council (CSIC), Campus using the integrative taxonomy approach and identified as a new de Excelencia Internacional species of genus Geocenamus. Geocenamus chengi n. sp. can Agroalimentario, ceiA3, Avenida be characterized by females having six incisures in the lateral field; Menéndez Pidal s/n, 14004 labial region is dome shaped and slightly offset from the rest of the Córdoba, Spain. body having four to five annuli; head framework is weakly developed; 3Ministry of Agriculture Key Lab deirids are absent; excretory pore is located at the anterior region of Molecular Biology of Crop of basal pharyngeal bulb.
