Abstract
Three species of the family Panagrolaimidae, namely: Propanagrolaimus filiformis, Panagrolaimus orientalis and P. rigidus, and one species of the family Alloionematidae, Rhabditophanes schneideri, were collected from the provinces of Kerman and Mazandaran, Iran. P. rigidus and R. schneideri were isolated from the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella. The descriptions, measurements and illustrations are provided for all species. Molecular analysis of P. rigidus based on sequences of the 18S rDNA places it close to P. davidi (HQ270131) and P. papillosus (KF011489) and two unidentified Panagrolaimus species (EU040129; KC522708). It is, however, separated from other P. rigidus populations sequenced previously. All species, except P. rigidus, are reported for the first time from Iran. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2A83F627-73CF-4489-9A6E-B2BB52086ED4
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
