What is it about?

Longidorus zhengi n. sp. was recovered in the rhizosphere of Quercus aliena in China. The matrix codes of the new species are: A45-B23-C5-D2-E1-F2-G1-H1-I1-J1-K5. The new species was molecularly characterized using 18S rRNA, ITS1, and 28S D2–D3 rRNA gene sequences. The phylogenetic analyses placed L. zhengi n. sp. with several species described from the mainland of China, which was clusted with L. litchi, L. diadecturus and L. juglans.
