Xiphinema insigne Loos, 1949 and X. hunaniense Wang and Wu, 1992 from Hangzhou, China, and synonymization of X. savaryi Lamberti, Troccoli and Agostinelli, 1997 with X. insigne, and X. siamense Lamberti, Troccoli and Agostinelli,1997 with X. radicicola Goodey, 1936 (Nematoda: Longidoridae)

Abstract: Descriptions and illustrations are given for five populations of X. insigne from five different hosts and for a population of X. hunaniense from Camellia japonica, each occurring in the Hangzhou region, China. Both species have four juvenile development stages (JDS) and morphometrics of the second, third and fourth JDS are presented. The study, which includes a morphological comparison of several long-tailed Xiphinema species, confirms a proposal to reject the synonymization of X. hunaniense with X. radicicola. Also, that X. savaryi be considered a junior synonym of X. insigne and that X. siamense be considered a junior synonym of X. radiciciola.
