Abstract

During a research study on free-living bacterivorous nematodes carried out in South Africa, a notable population of Tripylina was discovered near the trunk of a Weeping wattle (Peltophorum africanum) in Sovenga Hills, Limpopo Province. The newly identified species, T. safricana sp. nov., is characterized by moderately short body length (500-770 µm; a = 23.1-26.6, b = 5.0-6.4, c = 17.3-24.1; c' = 1.8-2.1, V = 57-69), solid outer labial setae (6-13 µm), a moderate sized dorsal tooth, two posteriorly positioned subventral denticles, a not cuticularized vagina, and a ventrally bent tail (25-44 µm) with a spinneret. Drawings, LM, and SEM photographs of the new species are provided.

期刊介绍： Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
