Popis: The article provides the description of Monhystera curvicaudata sp. nov., a new species of free-living freshwater nematode from a water reservoir in Rajastan state, India. The new species differs from the morphologically similar M. pseudomacrura Khera, 1971 from India in the structure of the gubernaculum without apophysis and position of vulva. Morphological characters of the genus Monhystera are discussed; a key to males of the Monhystera species is given.
