We investigated a poorly known species of the genus Sterkiella based on two populations collected from an agricultural field in Marche Region, Italy and from soil samples collected from the Silent Valley National Park, India. This study represents an example where data on the ontogenesis clarifies the polyphyletic behavior of the genus Sterkiella. Both populations showed a rather similar morphology and ontogenetic pattern and thus supported the polyphyletic behavior of the genus Sterkiella in molecular phylogenetic analyses. In addition, description of a species of the genus Fragmospina has been presented based on the detailed investigations on morphology, ontogenesis, and molecular phylogenetic methods.

Abstract

We investigated a poorly known species of the genus Sterkiella based on two populations collected from an agricultural field in Marche Region, Italy and from soil samples collected from the Silent Valley National Park, India. This study represents an example where data on the ontogenesis clarifies the polyphyletic behavior of the genus Sterkiella. Both populations showed a rather similar morphology and ontogenetic pattern and thus supported the polyphyletic behavior of the genus Sterkiella in molecular phylogenetic analyses. In addition, description of a species of the genus Fragmospina has been presented based on the detailed investigations on morphology, ontogenesis, and molecular phylogenetic methods.
