Mononchoides composticola was isolated during a survey on free living nematodes from vermicompost in Iran. This population
of M. composticola is characterised by a dorsal claw-like tooth; 7–9 μm long and 3–5 μm wide, 14–15 finely visible
longitudinal ridges on the cuticle, in which each ridge comprises two lines, long spicules (39–45 μm long), a short
gubernaculum (15–17 μm or less than half of the spicule length), two pairs of precloacal papillae, five pairs of postcloacal
papillae, papillae (v3) comprising three small papillae, and a long filiform tail (418–654 μm in females, 382–455 μm in
males). Molecular analysis of M. composticola based on sequence of the 18S rDNA placed it close to M. composticola
(GU943511; GU943512; from Belgium) and M. striatus (AY593924; from The Netherlands) in a well supported clade
(1.00 posterior probability). Measurements, illustrations, LM and SEM pictures, and the phylogenetic position of M. composticola
are given
