ABSTRACT:
A nematode collected fromDiaprepes abbreviatuswas identified and described as a new species,Steinernema diaprepesin. sp. The new species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by the following characteristics: Males: Spicule averaging 79 (71–90) Fm; the ratio D % (distance from the anterior end/esophagus length×100) about 80; the ratio SW (spicule length/anal body width) about 1.8. Females: Vulva with short, double flapped epiptygma; tail terminus usually with 5 mucrons. Infective juveniles: Body averaging 1002 (880–1133) Fm, EP (distance from anterior end to excretory pore)=74 (66–83) Fm; tail length=83 (65–91) Fm, and E % (EP/tail length)=89.6 78–114). Lateral field pattern variable, the formula for the arrangement of ridges from head to tail is: 2, 6, 7, 8, 4, 2. The portion with 8 ridges is the longest. This new species can be differentiated from the 3 closest species,S. feltiae, S. glaseri, andS. oregonenseby characteristics of their sequences.
