Sheraphelenchus sucus n. sp. (Tylenchina: Aphelenchoididae) isolated from sap flow of Quercus serrata in Japan

Sheraphelenchus sucus n. sp. (Tylenchina: Aphelenchoididae) isolated from sap flow of Quercus... A Sheraphelenchus species was isolated from a sample of sap exuding from a scar on the bark of Quercus serrata . Besides its generic characteristics, i.e. , posteriorly located vulva in the female, male spicule with conspicuous dorsal limb and male tail with spike-like projection, the new species is characterised by a short stylet with a small basal swelling. The near-full-length of 18S and D2/D3 expansion segments of ribosomal RNA genes (near-full SSU and D2/D3LSU) were determined as its molecular barcode sequences and the phylogenetic status of the species (= genus Sheraphelenchus ) was estimated using the near-full SSU.

Abstract

A Sheraphelenchus species was isolated from a sample of sap exuding from a scar on the bark of Quercus serrata . Besides its generic characteristics, i.e. , posteriorly located vulva in the female, male spicule with conspicuous dorsal limb and male tail with spike-like projection, the new species is characterised by a short stylet with a small basal swelling. The near-full-length of 18S and D2/D3 expansion segments of ribosomal RNA genes (near-full SSU and D2/D3LSU) were determined as its molecular barcode sequences and the phylogenetic status of the species (= genus Sheraphelenchus ) was estimated using the near-full SSU. The molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that the new species is included in the genus Bursaphelenchus , and is close to B. anatolius and B. kevini . Although Sheraphelenchus is phylogenetically inferred to occur within Bursaphelenchus , the new species is described herein as S. sucus n. sp., thereby retaining the genus Sheraphelenchus until additional data about morphological similarities between these two taxa are obtained.
