The new species shares several characters with the hofmanni-group sensu Braasch (2001). It is characterisedby a body length of 633 (540-749) and 744 (638-867) for males and females,respectively, stout body (a = 29 in male and 27in female), stylet 14 long in both males and females, lateral field with three lines, length of postuterine branch one-third to one-half of the vulva to anusdistance, conoid female tail (c = 3.4) with a finely rounded or pointed terminus, very delicate andrelatively straight spicules 10 (9-11) m long with compact capitulum, broad, not distinctly offsetcondylus and strong rostrum with a more or less rounded tip lacking a cucullus, shovel-shaped bursaand the presence of seven caudal papillae. Bursaphelenchus anamurius sp. n. differs from other species of the hofmanni-group mainly by having smaller, unusually shaped spicules, shorter condylus andno cucullus. The new species can be differentiated from other Bursaphelenchus species morphologically and by means of ITS-RFLP patterns, particularly by digestion of the PCR product with RsaI, HaeIII, MspI, HinfI and AluI. © 2007 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.en10.1163/156854107782331207info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessdistributionITS-RFLP analysismorphologymorphometricssurveytaxonomyArticle968598672-s2.0-44949170654WOS:000250755500012N/AQ3
