OAR@ICRISATParalongidorus bullatus n. sp. from groundnut soils in Niger and comments on Xiphinema parasetariae Luc S BSharmaauthorM RSiddiqiauthorParalongidorus bullatus n. sp. from groundnut soils in Sador6, Niger is described and illustrated. It is distinguishable from most species of the genus by its body and odontostyle lengths, knob-like head, and digitate ending of the protoplasmic region of the tail. Length of the female body is 4.4-5.5 mm, of the odontostyle 132-156/~m, and of the tail 32-44 t~m. Tail terminus is conoid to broadly rounded. Uteri are well developed, without sperms. Males are not found. Xiphinema parasetariae Luc 1958, a species inquirenda, is validated and, based on measurements and tail structures, X. attorodorum Luc 1961 is proposed as a synonym of X. parasetariae. Additional measurements are given for its females and juveniles.Groundnut1990Society of NematologistsArticle
