Abstract
During a survey of soil nematodes in Iran, a population of a species belonging to the order Mononchida was recovered. The new species, Paramylonchulus iranicus sp. n. is characterized by body length (1292–1535 μm in females and 1476–1670 μm in males), c (20.2–29.0 in females and 19.9–27.4 in males), buccal cavity length (23.0–26.0 μm), post vulval uterine sac length (135–162 μm), spicule length (46.0–50.0 μm), gubernaculum length (8.0–11.0 μm), and tail length (49.0–70.0 μm in females and 55.0–73.0 μm in males). Canonical discriminant analysis clearly separated P. iranicus sp. n. from the closely related species Paramylonchulus based on the important morphometric characters of females and males. A molecular study of the 18S rDNA region of P. iranicus sp. n. places this population in a well-supported clade with other species of the genus.
