During a field survey for entomopathogenic nematodes in Georgia, in the territory of Borjomi-Kharagauli, a nematode population was isolated from the body of single dead beetle of Motschulsky 1845 (Coleoptera: Lucanidae). Based on morphological characters and molecular analyses, the nematode species is identical to (Schneider, 1860, 1866), being the first record of this species in Georgia. Morphometrics of the Georgian population agree with the original description, and females differ from males by very few characters. The Georgian population of was molecularly characterized by sequencing the D2 to D3 expansion domains of the 28S rRNA gene and two new molecular markers as the ITS and the mitochondrial COI gene. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that all sequences grouped together along with all other species.

In this study, Aegus occidentalis Pathomwattananurak & Jiaranaisakul, new species is described from Tenasserim Range, western Thailand. Its habitus and genitalia are illustrated and compared with its closest relatives for both sexes. A checklist of the species of Aegus Macleay, 1819 (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae: Aegini) from Thailand is provided, which includes three new country records: Aegus babai Nagai, 1994, A.
