Figure 1:

Xiphinemella esseri (Chitwood, 1957) (light photomicrographs). A: Male, entire body; B: Female, entire body; C: Anterior region in dorso-ventral median view; D, F: Anterior region in lateral median view (F, arrow pointing on odontophore basal flanges); E: Lip region in surface lateral view; G: Lateral chord; H: Uterine egg; I: Pharyngeal expansion; J: Vagina; K: Anterior genital branch in part (showing the oviduct-uterus junction and uterus morphology); L: Spicule; M, O: Lateral guiding piece; N, P: Female caudal region; Q, R: Male caudal region. (Scale bars: A, B = 500 μm; C, D, F, G, I-K, N, P-R = 20 μm; E, L, M, O = 10 μm; H = 25 μm).

Figure 2:

Bayesian 50% majority rule consensus tree as inferred from the D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA gene sequence alignment under the GTR + I + G model. Posterior probability values more than 70% are given on appropriate clades. New sequences are indicated by bold letters.
