A stunt nematode species, Quinisulcius curvus, recovered from the rhizosphere of sea randa (Guettarda speciosa), is described and characterized herein based on integrative taxonomy. Morphometrics and distribution of all reported populations of Q. curvus are also discussed. The Chinese population of Q. curvus displayed slight variation in stylet length; however, the rest of the characters matches well with the original description. This is the first record of Q. curvus from Hainan, China, and the first molecular characterization for this species. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial 18S, 28S and ITS sequences placed Q. curvus with related stunt nematodes species, but clearly separated from them. The present study expanded the geographic record and provided molecular data on Q. curvus from China.
