Longidorid nematodes comprise more than 500 species, and Longidorus and Xiphinema are the most diversified, prevalent, and cosmopolitan genera within plant‐parasitic nematodes. This increases the risk of species misidentification. We conducted an integrative morphometric and genetic study on two lon...
