Recent molecular and polyphasic taxonomic approaches toward bacterial systematics have played a significant role in revolutionizing our insight in the taxonomy of bacterial organisms. This advance has also contributed greatly to delineation of new taxa from bacterial organisms isolated from a variety of natural sources of Korea. Recently, many bacterial organisms have isolated from soil, seawater, foods, wastewaters and humans of Korea and have been subjected to polyphasic taxonomic study. From the results of this study, some isolates have been found to be members of new genera and new species.

The genus Eucephalobus Steiner, 1936, belonging to the family Cephalobidae Filipjev, 1934 (Cephalobomorpha), represents a group of bacterial feeding nematodes. Although this group is cosmopolitan and species-rich, only two species have been reported from South Korea. Eucephalobus iaculocaudatus Bostrom and Holovachov, 2011 was collected from natural forest in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. This species shows typical morphological characters of the genus Eucephalobus, including a bicornuate labial probolae, cephalic probolae absent and three lateral incisures. However, E. iaculocaudatus is distinguished from other Eucephalobus species by conoid tail with a harpoon-shape mucro in female and ragged mucro in male. In this study, detailed morphological characters and morphometrics of E. iaculocaudatus are described and illustrated based on optical microscopy.
