| Abstract: | Bursaphelenchus hellenicus sp. n. was found in the wood of a dying Pinus brutia tree in Thessaloniki, Greece, together with B. leoni, in 1996. The tree was affected by Blastophagus piniperda and blue stain of wood. B. hellenicus sp. n. is characterised by an a-value of 30 (22-38), styler length of 15 (13-17) ìm, distinct constriction of the lip region, spicules of males with blunt prominent rostrum, narrow high condylus and cucullus, females with slightly extended anterior vulval lip, medium long postuterine branch and conoid tail with rounded terminus. |
