Taxa status of some reported plant parasitic nematodes in Indonesia

Abstract

Since 1885, plant parasitic nematodes have been reported in Indonesia, and somewhere recorded in older nomenclatures. Taxa status of the nematode should be reevaluated, since classification of the nematode might be changed by the consensus of some taxonomist based on the newest nematode morphological and or molecular phylogenetic differences. The objective of this work is to clear the confused older nematode nomenclature through nomenclatorial observations from older and modern description literatures, and updated electronic data (CABI, EPPO). From nomenclatorial observation results, earlier period recorded Heterodera sp. on wild tamarind and silk tree, Heterodera marioni on Coffea sp. and quinine plant, Heterodera radicicola on Coffea sp. and sweet potato are the presently genus Meloidogyne sp. and Heterodera javanica is the presently Meloidogyne javanica; Tylenchus similison black pepper and tea are the presently species of Radopholus similis; Tylenchus coffeae on silk tree and Coffea sp. and Tylenchus pratensis Filip on Coffea sp. are the same presently species Pra Tylenchus coffeae; while Radopholus oryzae on paddy, is the presently species Hirschmanniella oryzae; and ring nematode, Macrophostonia ornata on black pepper and Criconemella ornata on citrus, are the same presently species, Mesocriconema ornata; and Criconemella sp. on black pepper is presently Mesocriconema sp.
