Distribution

A typical member of Palearctic nematode fauna: Spain (type habitat: wet meadow, 2925 m a. s. l., other microhabitats: gorse scrubland and wet meadows, 2590-2700 m a. s. l. - Guerrero et al. (2008 a)), Iran (rhizosphere of grasses - Pedram et al. (2011)) and Romania (beech forest, cliff vegetation, grassland, 400-2000 m a. s. l. - Ciobanu et al. (2010 b)).

Taxon discussion

Originally described from Spain, this species was later recorded in Romania and Iran. Pedram et al. (2011) provided its first molecular characterisation, based on the 18 S rDNA, ITS and partial 5.8 S gene.
