Abstract
A population of a species of dagger nematode (Xiphinema) belonging
to the non-americanum group was recovered from the fields of
kola nut (Cola sp.) in southern Nigeria. The morphological and
morphometric data obtained from this population were consistent
with the characteristics of the species Xiphinema ifacolum. In addition,
molecular identification based on D2-D3 expansion segments of
28S rRNA and partial mitochondrial COI gene regions confirmed its
identity. According to our knowledge, this is the first report of the
species from Nigeria, and the second report from Africa, after the
original description from Foulaya, Guinea
