Figure 2:

Photomicrographs of Deladenus uljinensis n. sp. (A–K). A, B: Female reproductive system; C: Female anterior region; D: Female pharyngeal and glandular region; E: Male anterior region; F: Excretory pore / hemizonid position; G–I: Variation in female tail region; J: Lateral field; K: Male tail region. The arrow labeled n indicates the position of glandular nucleus. All other arrows indicate the collective position of both the excretory pore and the hemizonid (Scale bars: A = 50 μm; B, C, D, E, G, H, I and K = 20 μm; F and J = 10 μm).

Bayesian tree inferred under the GTR + I + G model from 18S-rRNA gene sequences of Deladenus spp. and other related species from various genera. Posterior probability values exceeding 50% are given on appropriate clades. The studied population is indicated in bold text. Outgroup taxa: Acrobeloides varius and Cephalobus cubaensis.
