The mucron in male steinernematid nematodes may be missing or present either in the first or second generation, or missing in both generations, with variable shape. However, for many species, the information on mucron morphology is incomplete and its taxonomic significance and distribution remain unclear. The present study assessed mucron morphology in males of 26 species using LM and SEM microscopy. For other species we summarised the published data. Furthermore, ancestral character state reconstruction analysis was performed to assess the distribution of mucron morphology within steinernematid phylogeny. In most species, papilla/spine-like or filamentous mucrons occur at least in the second generation. The species gathered in single phylogenetic groups have a similar mucron morphology. Generally, species with a prominent filamentous mucron belong to the 'kraussei/feltiae' and 'carpocapsae' groups, whereas mostly non-mucronated species occur in 'glaseri' and 'riobrave' groups. For future descriptions a precise mucron characterisation in both generations of the male is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
