Abstract

In a survey conducted to identify terrestrial nematodes of Roodghat area, Sufiyan-East Azerbaijan province, Iran, 80 soil samples were collected during 2016 and 2017. The soil samples were processed and the nematodes were extracted, killed, fixed, and transferred to anhydrous glycerin as usual. Permanent microscopic slides were prepared from the nematodes. Their morphological characteristics and morphometric properties were studied under an optical microscope consisting of a drawing tube. In this study, 35 species belonging to 25 genera (plant parasitic and non-plant parasitic) were identified that among them Axodorylaimellus deviatus (Baqri & Jairajpuri, 1969) Jairajpuri & Ahmad, 1980, Kochinema tenue Argo & Van Den Berg 1971, Laevides laevis (Thorne, 1939) Thorne, 1974, Metaporcelaimus labiatus (de Man, 1880) Andrássy, 2001andMetaxonchium bihariense (Popovici, 1990) Andrássy, 1996 were new records for the nematode fauna of Iran and are described here.
