Aphelenchus is a genus of nematode in the family Aphelenchoididae.[1] Member species inhabit soil and feed on fungi.[2]
Species
[edit | edit source]Aphelenchus contains the following known species:
- A. assamensis Chanu, Meitei, and Shah, 2016[3]
- A. avenae Bastian, 1865[4]
- A. hainanensis Rahm, 1938[4]
- A. kongoensis Allgén, 1933[4]
- A. maximus Das, 1960[5]
- A. mirzai Das, 1960[3]
In a study published in 1968, M.S. Jairajpuri argued that A. mirzai and A. maximus were synonyms of A. avenae.[6] They are included on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System database as valid species names,[1] but not listed on the World Register of Marine Species.[4] A study by Chanu, Meitei, and Shah published in 2016 states Aphelenchus contains "about 30 nominal species", but states that they are difficult to reliably identify due to poor characterization.[3]
