Redescription of Steinernema arenarium (Artyukhovsky, 1967) topotypes from Central Russia and a proposal for S. anomalae (Kozodoi, 1984) as a junior synonym
Russian Journal of Nematology 5 (1), 31-37
Abstract: A redescription of Steinernema arenarium (Artyukhovsky, 1967) Poinar 1990 is presented based on topotypes collected from the type locality in the Voronezh, Central Russia. The synonymization of S. anomalae (Kozodoi, 1984) Curran, 1989, originally described from nematodes collected in the Ryazan region, Central Russia, with S. arenarium is proposed based on morphometrics, protein electrophoresis and DNA analysis.
