- Dolichopus sincerus Melander, 1900 (Figs 13–15, 18, 19) Dolichopus sincerus Melander, 1900: 3. Dolichopus subdirectus Van Duzee, 1921: 118. Dolichopus frosti Runyon, 2008: 370, syn. nov. Nematode. Apparent Mermithidae. Demasculinized males examined. 4 ♂ (including holotype of Dolichopus frosti), USA, Pennsylvania, Centre County, Black Moshannon State Park, Moss-Hanne Trail, Shirks Run, 580 m, 23 July 2006, N 40°53.396’ W78°02.584’, muddy trail through sphagnum bog, JB Runyon; 4 ♂, same as previous, 26 July 2007 (MTEC, PSUC, USNM). Remarks. Infected specimens of D. sincerus differ from normal specimens in having unusually small and incompletely rotated genitalia (cf. Figs 18, 19), a wider face with silver pruinosity (cf. Figs 13, 14), costa without or with at most indistinct enlargement at apex of R 1, abdominal sternite 2 with longer ventral hairs (similar to female), and in lacking a broad, lustrous, posterodorsal spur at apex of the hind tibia. Twenty-three normal males of D. sincerus were collected at the site with eight demasculinized male specimens.
