Trophurus longimarginatus n.sp. (Tylenchida: Nematoda) from Puerto Rico

Abstract

Nematode specimens found in soil about West Indian mahogany roots belonging to the genus Trophurus Loof, 1956 were found to have specific characters different from those of the three species which are included in the genus at present. A description of the new species of nematode, Trophurus longimarginatus, as well as figure 1 illustrating the same, are given in this article.
