Abstract:

This article begins with a critical review of the article of Lamberti et al. (1992) with descriptions of X. brevicollum, X. diffusum, and three new species (X. parvum, X. pseudoguirani, X. taylori), all closely related to each other. After studying type specimens of these five species and paratypes of X. incognitum and X. sheri, the present authors propose X. diffusum, X. incognitum, X, parvum, X. pseudoguirani, X. sheri, and X, taylori as junior synonyms of X. brevicollum. The second part of the article includes a detailed characterization of the Xiphinema americanum-group and a list of its species. X. pachydermum, X. brevisicum, X. longistilum, X. mesostilum, and X, microstilum are excluded from the X. americanum-group. (C) Orstom/Elsevier, Paris.
