  abstract = {{L}ow density of an unknown root-knot nematode was found on wild olive soils at {C}ape {S}partel near {T}anger city in northern {M}orocco. {M}orphometry, esterase and malate dehydrogenase electrophoretic phenotypes, as well as ribosomal {DNA} (r{DNA}) and mitochondrial {DNA} (mt{DNA}) sequences demonstrated that this nematode species differs clearly from other previously described root-knot nematodes. {T}he species is herein described, illustrated and named as {M}eloidogyne spartelensis n. sp. {T}his new root-knot nematode can be morphologically distinguished from other {M}eloidogyne spp. by: (i) roundish perineal pattern, dorsal arch low, with fine, sinuous cuticle striae, lateral field faintly visible; (ii) female excretory pore posterior to stylet knobs, {EP}/{ST} ratio 1.4-2.0; (iii) second-stage juveniles with hemizonid located 1 to 2 annuli anterior to excretory pore and long, sub-digitate tail; and (iv) males with lateral field composed of four incisures, with areolated outer bands. {P}hylogenetic trees based on 18{S}, {ITS}1-5.8{S}-{ITS}2, {D}2-{D}3 of 28{S} r{DNA}, and partial cox{II}-16{S} r{RNA} and cox{I} gene of mt{DNA} showed that {M}. spartelensis n. sp. belongs to an undescribed root-knot nematode lineage that is clearly separated from other species with resemblance in morphology, such as {M}. dunensis, {M}. kralli, and {M}. sewelli.},
