- Abstract
During a survey of soil nematodes in Iran, some known species belonging to the order Mononchida were recovered:Anatonchus tridentatus,Clarkus papillatus,Miconchus studeri,Mononchus aquaticus,Mononchus pulcher,Mononchus truncatus,Mylonchulus brachyuris,Mylonchulus lacustrisandMylonchulus sigmaturus.Mylonchulus lacustrisis a new geographical record from Iran. Measurements and illustrations are provided for all species. Canonical discriminant functions analysis revealed that 96.8% of the original grouped cases (Mylonchulusspecies) are classified correctly. A molecular study of the 18S rDNA region ofA. tridentatusplaces this population beside otherA. tridentatuspopulations. BlastN search results revealed that the Iranian population ofA. tridentatusdiffers from populations from the Netherlands (AY284768; 93% identity) and Belgium (AJ966474; 96% identity) in 46 and 29 nucleotides, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicates thatAnatonchusis a monophyletic taxon. Phylogenetic position and morphometrics of this species are presented. A compendium and a new proposed key for the species of the genusAnatonchusare given as well.
