| halophilanema prolata n. gen., n. sp. (nematoda: allantonematidae), a parasite of the intertidal bug, saldula laticollis (reuter)(hemiptera: saldidae) on the oregon coast. | it is rare to find terrestrial nematode lineages parasitizing arthropods inhabiting the intertidal or littoral zone of the oceans. during an ecological study along the oregon dunes, an allantonematid nematode (tylenchomorpha: allantonematidae) was discovered parasitizing the intertidal shore bug, saldula laticollis (reuter)(hemiptera: saldidae). this shore bug is adapted to an intertidal environment and can survive short periods of submergence during high tides. the present study describes the n ... | 2012 | 22296685 |
