Abstract

Three species belonging to the family Tylenchidae, Malenchus nanellus, M. undulatus and Tylenchus naranensis, are reported for the first time for Iran. These species are characterized based on morphological and morphometric data. The Iranian population of M. nanellus is characterized by its body length ranging from 410–485 μm, cuticle annuli 1.1–1.5 μm wide at mid-body and lateral field with two crenate lines, starting at the mid-region of procorpus and ending near 1/3 of tail length. The population of M. undulatus is characterized by its 458–526 μm body length, cuticle coarsely annulated, annuli 1.8–2.4 μm wide at mid-body, lateral field with crenate incisures, beginning at about half of the stylet length, ending at middle of tail, head narrower than adjacent body, median bulb well developed with prominent valve plates and functional males in population. Iranian population of T. naranensis, is characterized by having a 631–774 μm body length, lateral field with four lines, outer lines crenate, a stylet length ranging from 10–11 μm and a tail of 102–131 μm long. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on partial 28S rDNA sequences of T. naranensis revealed its close affinity with the genus Filenchus. Other Tylenchidae genera, such as Aglenchus (including the newly sequenced isolate from Iran) and Coslenchus were sister taxa and formed a well-supported clade. Malenchus exiguus, a previously reported species from Iran and sequenced in the present study, formed a monophyletic clade with other species of Malenchus and Lelenchus leptosoma.
