Falcaustra tannaesis is the 87th discovered species of the nematode genus Falcaustra.^[1] It has been identified in geckos from Tanna Island, Vanuatu.^[1] Species of Falcaustra have been known parasites that occur in the digestive tracts of fish, amphibians, and mammals.^[1] Up until this year(2010), none have ever been identified in the South Pacific Islands.^[1] Falcaustra tannaensis is a nematode with a cylendrical body tapering anteriorly and posteriorly.^[1] It has a thin cuticle with fine, regular striations.^[1] Mouth opening is triangular, surrounded by 3 large lips, each with 2 papillai, amphidial pore at lateral edge of each subventral lip.^[1] It's lip support is lightly sclerotized. Cervical papillae slightly posterior to nerve ring, inconspicuous. Tail is conical, pointed in both sexes.^[1] It is also related to Falcaustra pelusios, a nematode that infects the gastrointestinal tract of turtles.^[2]
