Abstract
The cosmopolitan root-knot nematodes of the genus
Meloidogyne are considered as the most important plant-parasitic
nematodes damaging almost all higher plant species. This paper provides
an updated checklist of 105 valid species of Meloidogyne, along with their
synonyms and non-valid members. Furthermore, species are grouped based
upon their diagnostic characteristics of second-stage juveniles (tail shape,
tail length, stylet length and dorsal gland orifice (DGO) distance from
stylet base) and males (number of lateral incisures, stylet length, DGO and
spicules length).
