Abstract

For several decades soil nematode community structure has been used as bioindicator of soil conditions. Because the accuracy of the assessment necessitates proper identification of existing taxa, the potential use of nematode as bioindicator can only be realized in places where most soil nematode species have been well identified. Previous surveys of soil nematodes in South Kalimantan (Borneo) left some specimens that were identified as belonging to the genus Cobbonchus Andrassy, 1958, but the species was unknown. In the present study, as a part of the South Kalimantan Nematode Biodiversity Project, the specimens were further examined and identified as Cobbonchus collaris Andrassy, 1985 and Cobbonchus indicus Baqri, Baqri & Jairajpuri, 1978. Despite some differences, morphological characters of the South Kalimantan specimens generally conformed the previously published descriptions of the species. The deviations were considered intraspecific variations that may lead to redescriptions of the corresponding species. This is the first record of occurrence of the two species in South Kalimantan that provides new data on the geographic distribution of the genus and species.
