Due to their potential entomopathogenicity, nematodes of the genus Oscheius have been in the spotlight of the scientific interest in recent years. Unfortunately, some of these species are poorly described and have inadequate or no molecular support. This fact complicates the systematics of the group, and a revision of these species is necessary to elucidate their taxonomic status. In the present study, we provide a detailed description based on the morphological, morphometrical, and molecular characteristics of Oscheius siddiqii from Uttar Pradesh, India, including the first scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies of the species. Furthermore, based on morphological and molecular data, the status of some Oscheius species is discussed, and several synonymisations are proposed.
