ABSTRACT
The survey of soil nematodes of the West Azarbaijan province of Iran revealed the presence of predatory nematodes
of the order Mononchida. A total of 36 soil samples were collected in the summer of 2014 from the rhizosphere of
stone fruits in different areas of the province. Soil analysis results in the identification of 5 species of mononchid
nematodes viz., Anatonchus kashmirensis, A. tridentatus, Clarkus papillatus, Mylonchulus brachyuris and M.
paitensis. Among them, A. kashmirensis is recorded for the first time in Iran.
