Studies on Longidorus iberis (Escuer & Arias, 1997) n. comb. (Nematoda: Longidoridae) from Spain

Summary Specimens of a thin longidorid species collected in Peñalba (Huesca), north-west Spain, were previously described as Paralongidorus iberis . However, we conclude, through scanning electron microscopy and molecular studies on population from about 15 km the type locality paratype specimens, that this was originally placed wrong genus. Both populations have pore-like amphidial apertures, not slit-like , is therefore transferred to Longidorus. Longidorus n. comb. regarded valid clearly different closely related such L. tabernensis iliturgiensis alvegus indalus morphometrics markers. Molecular data are reported for first time, including D2-D3 expansion segments 28S rRNA, ITS1 partial 18S rRNA mitochondrial coxI regions. These markers used inferring phylogenetic relationships with other within all separating taxa placing clade, rather than
