TL;DR
Morphometrics closely agree with the original description and other populations, and principal component analysis explained 91.67% of total variation and clustered the present population with previously reported populations, indicating morphometric congruence.
Abstract
Aphelenchoides confusus Thorne & Malek, 1968, was isolated and described during a survey on the east coast mangroves from Odisha, India. The females characterized by a short body (596.6 ± 20.1 µm), a short stylet (9.7 ± 0.3 µm) with small basal knobs, a vulva at 64.7–69.6% of body length with an unmodified lip, a well-developed post-uterine sac, and a conoid, rounded tail without a mucro. Morphometrics closely agree with the original description and other populations. Principal component analysis explained 91.67% of total variation and clustered the present population with previously reported populations, indicating morphometric congruence. This record extends the known host association of the species to mangrove plants.
Abstract A new needle nematode, Longidorus parasabalanicus sp. nov. (Nematoda: Longidoridae), was collected from the rhizosphere of Astragalus spp. in mountainous areas of northern Iran. The species is characterised by a medium-sized body (female 4.0–4.8 mm; male 4.3–5.1 mm), lip region anteriorly flattened and lateral...

Leucinodes orbonalis Guenée, 1854 is a major internal feeder of solanaceous crops in the Indo-Malayan region and an economically important quarantine pest. During field surveys conducted in September 2025 in Arunachal Pradesh, India, fruit-boring larvae were observed on Solanum aethiopicum Linnaeus. Infested fruits wer...

This study reports the first occurrence of the species Doloessa hilaropis (Meyrick, 1897) in India, based on specimens recorded from Edapally, Ernakulam district, Kerala. The limited information available on D. hilaropis reflects the broader inadequacy of taxonomic and ecological studies on many moth taxa in India. Wit...
Abstract A new species of the genus Sychnotylenchus, S. golestanicus sp. n., is described and illustrated from northern Iran. The new species is characterised by a body length of 595–831 μm, a continuous lip region, a very slender stylet 7–10 μm long with small but distinct knobs, a lateral field with six to eight inci...

Ophiopogon spathulifolius, a new species from Tuyen Quang Province (including former Ha Giang Province), northern Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is distinguished from all other species of the genus by a combination of character states: estoloniferous habit with a short rhizome, petioles with scarious whitish...
