Sectonema caobangense sp. n. from Vietnam (Nematoda, Dorylaimida, Aporcelaimidae).

ABSTRACT: Sectonema caobangense sp. n. from evergreen forest soil in Vietnam is described, including scanning electron micrograph (SEM) observations and D2-D3 LSU rDNA analysis. The new species is characterized by its 3.12 to 5.80 mm long body, lip region offset by deep constriction and 21 to 23 ?m broad, mural tooth 13 to 14 ?m long at its ventral side, 940 to 1,112 ?m long neck, pharyngeal expansion occupying 61% to 69% of total neck length, uterus a long simple tube-like structure 292 to 363 ?m long or 2.7 to 2.9 times the corresponding body diameter, pars refringens vaginae well developed, V = 48 to 56, short (36-51 ?m, c = 77-132, c' = 0.5-0.8) and rounded tail, 87 to 99 ?m long spicules, and four or five irregularly spaced ventromedian supplements bearing hiatus. Sectonema caobangense sp. n. differs from the typical pattern of Sectonema in the nature of the stomatal protrusible structure, bearing a mural tooth attached to the ventral side of the stoma. Molecular data obtained and the derived evolutionary trees support a close phylogenetic relationship with other Sectonema species.

Project description:A new species of the genus Geocenamus was isolated from soil and root samples from the rhizosphere of Casuarina equisetifolia (Casuarinaceae) in Quang Nam province, Vietnam. This species is characterized by a round-to-hexagonal labial disc, the presence of a labial region, which is continuous or slightly offset from the body with six sectors, lateral sectors of first labial annulus being smaller than the submedian sectors, the presence of six to seven labial annules; the absence of deirids; stylet length 24 to 28???m long, body length 776 to 979???m long; lateral field with six to eight lateral lines, without areolation at mid-body and with areolation in outer bands at the tail region and a pointed tail terminus. Geocenamus vietnamensis n. sp. most closely resembles G. boghiae in having a non-sclerotized head framework and lacking a bursa in the males. It can be clearly distinguished from all other species of the genus Geocenamus by these characteristics. The combination of morphology, morphometric features, and phylogenetic trees, based on D2-D3 of 28S and ITS rDNA sequences, showed that this new species can be clearly separated from all other sequenced species. This record is the first for Geocenamus in Vietnam.A new species of the genus Geocenamus was isolated from soil and root samples from the rhizosphere of Casuarina equisetifolia (Casuarinaceae) in Quang Nam province, Vietnam.

Project description:Three new species of Aporcelaimoides from natural habitats in Vietnam are studied, described and illustrated, including line drawings, LM and/or SEM pictures. Aporcelaimoidesbrevistylum sp. n. is characterized by its body 1.95-2.90 mm long, lip region offset by deep constriction and 17-18 µm broad, ventral side of mural odontostyle 11-14 µm long with aperture occupying 62-71% of its length, neck 663-767 µm long, pharyngeal expansion occupying 58-66% of total neck length, uterus a simple tube 85-182 µm long, pars refringens vaginae absent, V = 55-63, tail short and rounded (34-46 µm, c = 49-76, c' = 0.6-0.8), spicules 67-86 µm long, and one ventromedian supplement out the range of spicules. Aporcelaimoidesminor sp. n. is distinguished in having body 2.09-2.61 mm long, lip region offset by deep constriction and 19-20 µm broad, mural odontostyle 14-16 µm long at its ventral side with aperture occupying 73-84% of its length, neck 579-649 µm long, pharyngeal expansion occupying 57-66% of total neck length, uterus a simple tube 44-69 µm long, pars refringens vaginae well developed, V = 48-56, female tail very short, rounded conoid or truncate (14-26 µm, c = 90-146, c' = 0.3-0.6), and male unknown. Aporcelaimoidessilvaticum sp. n. is characterized by its body 2.09-2.60 mm long, lip region offset by depression and 17-18 µm broad, mural odontostyle 11-12 µm long at its ventral side with aperture occupying 60-66% of its length, neck 597-720 µm long, pharyngeal expansion occupying 58-64% of total neck length, uterus a simple tube 128-243 µm long, pars refringens vaginae well developed, V = 58-60, tail short and rounded (27-37 µm, c = 67-94, c' = 0.6-0.7), spicules 64-75 µm long, and two or three widely spaced ventromedian supplements bearing hiatus. The genus Aporcelaimoides is restored, its diagnosis emended, and three species of Sectonema, namely Sectonemaamazonicum, Sectonemahaguei and Sectonemamoderatum, transferred to it. An updated list of its species, a key to their identification and a tabular compendium with the most important morphometric features are also presented.
