Proposal of New Synonyms in Hemicycliophora De Man, 1921 (Nematoda: Tylenchida)

Abstract

The comparative study of morphometrical variability and the evaluation of characters of para-types of eight Hemicycliophora species provided a basis for the proposal of four new synonyms in the genus. H. lutosoides, H. ekdavici, H. karachiensis and H. ferrisae are proposed as junior synonyms of H. lutosa, H. natalensis, H. typica and H. uniformis, respectively.
