The genus Trophomera Rubtsov & Platonova, 1974 with description of T. litoralis sp. n. (Nematoda:... AbstractThe type species of Trophomera, T. iturupiensis, is redescribed from typematerial and important errors in the original description corrected. As aresult of this emended description, Benthimermis is proposed as a juniorsynonym of Trophomera and its species transferred accordingly.

Trophomera is diagnosedand an annotated list of nominal species presented. Trophomera litoralis sp.n., collected from the tidal zone of Ushishir Island (Kuril Archipelago), isdescribed on the basis of four males. The males of T. litoralis sp. n.differ from those of other Trophomera species primarily by the much highernumber of precloacal supplementary organs (105-108 vs 2-68). Trophomeralitoralis sp. n. is most similar to T. regalis comb. n. yet differs byshorter body length (5.8-9.3 vs 14.9 mm), body proportions (a = 67-107 vs124.4; c = 61-97 vs 135.7), greater length of the intermediate spermatoductbetween the anterior and posterior testes (ca 1/7th vs ca 1/140th of bodylength), tail shape (rounded conoid vs pointed conoid), and number ofprecloacal supplementary organs (105-108 vs 49). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nematology Brill

Abstract

AbstractThe type species of Trophomera, T. iturupiensis, is redescribed from typematerial and important errors in the original description corrected. As aresult of this emended description, Benthimermis is proposed as a juniorsynonym of Trophomera and its species transferred accordingly. The familyname Benthimermithidae is retained according to articles 23.1 and 40.1 ofthe International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Trophomera is diagnosedand an annotated list of nominal species presented. Trophomera litoralis sp.n., collected from the tidal zone of Ushishir Island (Kuril Archipelago), isdescribed on the basis of four males. The males of T. litoralis sp. n.differ from those of other Trophomera species primarily by the much highernumber of precloacal supplementary organs (105-108 vs 2-68). Trophomeralitoralis sp. n. is most similar to T. regalis comb. n. yet differs byshorter body length (5.8-9.3 vs 14.9 mm), body proportions (a = 67-107 vs124.4; c = 61-97 vs 135.7), greater length of the intermediate spermatoductbetween the anterior and posterior testes (ca 1/7th vs ca 1/140th of bodylength), tail shape (rounded conoid vs pointed conoid), and number ofprecloacal supplementary organs (105-108 vs 49).
