Abstract:

During a survey of Trichodoridae in the province Jaen, south-eastern Spain, a new Trichodorus species, Trichodorus giennensis sp. n. was found. This species is characterized by two ventromedian cervical papillae, the shape of the spicules with widened manubrium and slender calomus with at mid-level a slight constriction provided with bristles in males, and by a barrel-shaped vagina, small triangular oblique vaginal sclerotized pieces and a single pair of postadvulvar lateral body pores in female. T. giennensis sp. n. closely resembles the '' Trichodorus aequalis '' species group, and more specifically T. sparsus Szczygiel, 1968. The occurrence of Trichodorus viruliferus Hooper, 1963 and Paratrichodorus teres (Hooper, 1962) represent new records for Spain. Additional morphometric and morphological data are given for P. hispanus Roca & Arias, 1986 and P. teres.
