Abstract
Longidorus iranicus n.sp. is described from the north-western part of Iran, where it was found in the rhizosphere of grape and other cultivated plants. Its main features are a 5-7 mm long and rather slender body, a narrow, rounded lip region which is almost continuous with neck contour, an odontostyle length around 110 μm, a short, bluntly conoid tail, the shape of the amphids, the position of the gland nuclei in the oesophageal bulb, the cuticle layering at the tail end and the absence of males. L. iranicus resembles L. goodeyi, L. caespiticola, L. taniwha, L. poessneckensis and, most closely, L. crassus. ac]19820617.
