THE MORPHOLOGY OF JENSENONCHUS SPHAGNI (BRZESKI, 1960) N. COMB. FROM SCOTLAND AND COMMENTS ON THE TAXONOMIC STATUS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES BY VLADA PENEVA1), ROY NEILSON2), BRIAN BOAG2) and DEREK J.F. BROWN2) 1) Central Laboratory of General Ecology, 2 Gagarin Street, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria; 2) Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, Scotland A study of type material of Jensenonchus sphagni (Brzeski, 1960) n. comb. and Jensenonchus vorax (Cobb, 1917) Andrássy, 1993 confirmed the validity of J. sphagni. Examination of specimens recorded as Mulveyellus vorax (Cobb, 1917) Siddiqi, 1984 from Scotland, revealed that they were J. sphagni. Both species have been found only in moist natural or semi-natural habitats, often associated with mosses. The geographical distribution of J. vorax seems to be restricted to North America whereas J. sphagni apparently occurs only in Europe, thus, these two nematodes are rare examples of vicariant nematode species. Keywords: distribution, morphology, taxonomy, vicariance. During a study of nematode diversity from climax vegetation types in Scot- land specimens of Jensenonchus Jairajpuri & Khan, 1982 were collected. The taxonomic status of Jensenonchus vorax (Cobb, 1917) and lotonchus sphagni (Brzeski, 1960) is confused. Loof and Winiszewska- � lipiriska (1993) consider them distinctive
