Abstract

The genus Chronogaster Cobb, 1913 of the family Chronogasteridae Gagarin, 1975 included 55 valid species which have been reported from terrestrial, marine and freshwater habitats in different localities in the world. In the of nematode fauna of Gurigol Lake, East Azarbaijan province (GPS, 37˚ 54ʹ 40ʹ Nʺ and 46˚ 42ʹ 10ʺ E) and soil in Khaki Beig, Divandarreh Kordestan province (GPS: 36˚ 11ʹ 21ʹ Nʺ and 6˚ 54ʹ 26ʺ E) two populations of Chronogater were collected. The nematodes extracted by using sieves and centrifugation, and transferred to anhydrous glycerin. The nematodes were mounted on microscopic slides and their morphological and morphometric characters studied using Olympus BX 41 optical microscope and digital images prepared by a DP50 camera. Both populations were identified as C. rotundicauda Heyns & Coomans, 1983.
