Abstract:
During a survey, five known species of plant-parasi
tic nematodes of the families
Tylenchidae and Dolichodoridae (Tylenchomorpha: Tyl
enchoidea) were collected and
identified from several locations in Golestan, Guil
an, Kurdistan, and Fars provinces.
Paratrophurus kenanae, Tylenchus elegans
and
T. ritae
, as new records for Iranian
nematode fauna, with the two previously reported sp
ecies
Filenchus butteus
and
Tylenchorhynchus leviterminalis
are illustrated and described. The similarity of
several species of
Paratrophurus
with those of the closely related genus,
Tylenchorhynchus
, is also discussed.
