Deladenus Bonabensis n. Sp. (Tylenchomorpha: Neotylenchidae) from East Azarbaijan Province, Northwestern Iran: A Morphological and Molecular Phylogenetic Study.

ABSTRACT: A population of Deladenus, representing a new species, was recovered from Bonab's Ghara-Gheshlagh lagoon. It is mainly characterized by having a long body (1051-1185 μm), long distance of anterior end to pharyngeal glands end (270-312 μm), six lines in lateral fields, and a short mucro-like differentiation on the tail tip. Furthermore, it has a small-sized stylet (8.5-11.0 μm) with three knobs, no postvulval uterine sac, and males with 24- to 28-μm-long tylenchoid spicules and penial tube. With six lateral lines, the new species is comparable with seven species of the genus: D. apopkaetus, D. brevis, D. cocophilus, D. durus, D. obtusicaudatus, D. processus, and D. ulani. It was furthermore compared with D. oryzae with an unknow
