Data of an Iranian Population of L. proximus Sturhan & Argo, 1983, with taxonomic revision of L. israelensis Peneva, Orion, Shlevin, Bar-Eyal & Brown, 1998 (Nematoda: Longidoridae) and Proposal for a New Synonymy.

ABSTRACT: The morphology and morphometric characteristics of a Longidorus population recovered from a wheat-potato field in Hamadan province, western Iran, fit well with those given for two species, L. proximus and L. israelensis. The Iranian population was characterized by 5.6 to 8.6-mm-long females having a 17 to 21-µm-wide lip region separated from the rest of the body by a shallow depression, pocket-shaped amphidial fovea with a simple base and a ventral enlargement, a guiding ring at 31 to 40 µm distance from the anterior end, 108 to 127-µm-long odontostyle, 58 to 64-µm-long odontophore, 101 to 129-µm-long pharyngeal bulb with remarkably larger dorsal gland nucleus (at 49 to 53% of the bulb length) and two smaller ventrosublateral nuclei (at 66 to 76% of the pharyngeal bulb length), four juveni
