Eucephalobus iaculocaudatus sp. n. was collected from decaying tree bark in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. It is characterized by a body length of 424-516 μm in females and 371-407 μm in males, pharyngeal corpus 2.6-3.5 times isthmus length, spermatheca 28-52 μm long, postvulval uterine sac 10-16 μm long, and tail terminus in both sexes bearing a ragged, 2.0-3.5 μm long, mucro having a harpoon-shaped appearance. Eucephalobus asteromucronatus sp. n. was found in grassland soil in Santa Rosa Ecological Reserve, California. It is characterized by a body length of 579-676 μm in females and 573-597 μm in males, pharyngeal corpus 3.0-3.6 times isthmus length, spermatheca 24-40 μm long, postvulval uterine sac 24-32 μm long, tail terminus broadly rounded with a short star-shaped mucro in females and with a ragged, 2.0 μm long, mucro having a brush-like appearance in males. Pseudacrobeles (P.) maungatautariensis sp. n. was found associated with epiphyte vegetation in Maungatautari Reserve, New Zealand. It is characterized by a body length of 585-768 μm in females and 551-613 μm in males, pharyngeal corpus 4.1-5.8 times isthmus length, spermatheca 32-63 μm long, postvulval uterine sac 41-67 μm long, and tail terminus with a ragged, 3.0 μm long, mucro in females and with a ragged, sharply pointed, 4.0-5.0 μm long mucro in males <br />}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Nematode Morphology and Systematics}, author={Boström, S. and Holovachov, O.}, year={2012}, month={Dec.}, pages={J.
