One new species Merlinius nagerensis n. sp. and five new records were found during the surveillance of different
crop fields of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The new species is characterized by punctuation on the entire body and with
rounded and smooth tail terminus. This species comes close to M. montanus and M. khuzdarensis, but differs from
M. montanus in having pointed tail terminus and from M. khuzdarensis by longer stylet. The taxonomic studies on
Boleodorus volutus, Merlinius alboranensis, Paratylenchus (P.) nanus, Pratylenchus alleni, Telomalenchus
williamsi are presented in this paper. The indigenous fauna had similar morphological and morphometrical
characters to the corresponding type population.
