Abstract
- Summary: Aphelenchoides yixingensis n. sp. found in Chinese red pine (Pinus massoniana) in Yixing city, Jiangsu Province, P.R. China, is described. It is characterised by a very slim body (a = 50.8 (41.3-63.8) and 49.3 (42.3-55.1) for males and females, respectively), three (occasionally five) lateral lines in the lateral field, a short stylet (9-12 μ m), the excretory pore located at the level of nerve ring, the vagina is not sclerotised and the vulva has slightly protruding lips and lacks a flap, the post-uterine sac is well developed and forms ca 29.0% (24.1-34.1%) of the vulva to anus distance. The spicules are smoothly arcuate, the apex and rostrum rounded and short, and the dorsal limb is 20.5 (16.9-22.2) μ m long, the distal end bluntly rounded. Spicule sheath-like structure is present, triangular and outstretched when heat-killed in some individuals. The male tail bears three pairs (2 + 2 + 2) of caudal papillae. The tail of both sexes is sub-cylindrical, the terminus bearing a bluntly pointed mucron with tiny nodular protuberances, mainly at the distal part. The new species belongs to the Group 2 category of Aphelenchoides species sensu Shahina and is defined as A2-B1-C1-D1-E2-F2 according to the categorisation codes of OEPP/EPPO. Phylogenetic analysis based on 18S and 28S D2-D3 of rDNA, along with ITS and mt COI , confirmed its status as a new species. A proposal for genus Ptychaphelenchus as a synonym of Aphelenchoides is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
