Abstract
AbstractA new species of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema phyllophagae n. sp.,was isolated from a white grub (Phyllophaga sp.) in a live oak (Quercusvirginiana) nursery. The new species is characterised by morphometrics ofthe infective Sjuvenile (IJ) with body length 1289 (1133-1395) μm, distancefrom anterior end to the excretory pore 99 (84-120) μm, tail 89 (77-109) μm,ratio a = 31 (27.6-35.5), H% = 57 (51-60) and E% = 110 (70-139). The patternof the lateral field of IJ of the new species is 2, 5, 6, 8, 6, 2. The maleof the first generation can be recognised by the length and shape of thespicule and gubernaculum, position of the excretory pore, D% = 75 (68-80),and GS% = 71 (61-77). The female can be recognised by the vulva having lowepiptygma and by the presence of several papilla-like structures near thetail tip. Steinernema phyllophagae n. sp. differs further from other speciesof Steinernema by characteristics of ITS and D2D3 regions of rDNA.
