Heterorhabditis hepialius, Stock, Strong and Gardner, 1996 - A junior synonym of H. marelatus, Liu and Berry, 1996 (Rhabditida : Heterorhabditidae) with a redescription of the species
Nematologica 43 (6), 455-463
Abstract: Heterorhabditis hepialius and Heterorhabditis marelatus were studied to evaluate their taxonomic position. Results from morphological and morphometric analysis and cross-breeding tests indicated these species are conspecific. Therefore, H. hepialius is considered a junior synonym of H. marelatus. A redescription of this taxon is presented.
