Research Abstract

Diplogastrid nematodes were collected from Ficus syconia and insects(mostly beetles and wasps) from tropical and subtropical regions in Middle America, East Asia, South-East Asia and Africa. Based upon the morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses, several new species descriptions and redescriptions were conducted. Further, the morphological characters were compared with molecular phylogenetic relationship, and the evolutionary history of stomatal morphologies was examined for diplogastrid nematodes.
