Phylogenetic relationships of Paratylenchus beltsvillensis n. sp. with other related species. Bayesian 50% majority rule consensus tree from two runs as inferred from analysis of the D2-D3 of 28S rRNA gene sequence alignment under the GTR + I + G model. Posterior probabilities equal or more than 70% are given for appropriate clades. New sequences are indicated in bold. Clade numbers are given according to Singh et al. (2021). *identified as Paratylenchus sp. in the GenBank.
