Four new species and five morphospecies of Ficophagus Davies & Bartholomaeus, 2015 (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) from Ficus subgenus Urostigma sect. Americana (Moraceae) in Central America
Four new species of Ficophagus were recovered from the sycones of Ficus spp. from the Subgenus Urostigma section Americana from Central America. The species are described here as Ficophagus bullenei sp. n., F. costaricanus sp. n., F. paraensis sp. n. and F. kayai sp. n. The new species are differentiated from other species of the genus by a combination of morphological characters including body length, position of the excretory pore, spicule shape, stylet form, length of the post-uterine sac, tail shape, sequence data of the ribosomal DNA 18S, 28S D2-D3 and mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I, biogeographical range, and host wasp and Ficus species affiliations. In addition, five morphospecies are described from Ficus cahuitensis, F. citrifolia, F. dugandii, F. obtusifolia, and F. trigonata, respectively. The morphospecies are not formally named due to a lack of pertinent data/molecular sequences.
