In order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes of wheat fields of Boyer-Ahmad and Dena regions, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Iran, 50 soil and root samples were collected during 2012-2013. By using sieve series and centrifugal flotation technique, the nematodes were extracted. They were fixed and transferred to anhydrous glycerin and the permanent slides were prepared from the extracted nematodes. Morphological and morphometrical studies were done, using a drawing tube attached to a light microscope. Among 28 identified species, Ditylenchus equalis as a new report for nematode fauna of Iran and D. tenuidens are described here.
