A computer method for identifying nematode species : 1. Genus Longidorus (Nematoda : Longidoridae)
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer program to assist in the identification of nematodes is described. The program has been adjusted for identification of Longidorus species. It is easy to edit in persona1 computer, simple to use and cari be extended to other genera. The program utilises an index that measures the probability that a character is common to tir unidentified specimen and the reference species. The computer output lists the five species most similar to the specimen being investigated. The taxonomist cari choose one of these species and if necessary may extend the morphometric range of the chosen species, altemarively, a new species may be created.

A new needle nematode, Longidorus carniolensissp. n., recovered from the soil around the roots of grapevine Vitis vinifera L. from Slovenia, is described and illustrated. Longidorus carniolensisis an amphimictic species, characterised by females with a moderately long (L=5.6-8.2 mm) and plump (a=51-72.4, ave. 66.3) body, assuming a spiral to C-shape when heat relaxed. Head region continuous, an...

Longidorus breviannulatus n. sp. was associated with stunted corn in Iowa. The nematode has wide bilobed amphidial pouches, a guiding ring 21-26 mum from the anterior end of the body, an odontostyle 81-88 mum long, and a spear extension 28-45 mum long. The most frequent collections and the greatest numbers of the nematode in the field occurred in sandy soils. Nematodes increased in greenhouse c...
