These animals are characterized by their elongated, flattened body structures and a modified gut, making them useful for burrowing within soil or invertebrates.

Siphonocryptidae 🔍

Siphonocryptidae is a family of nematodes that are part of the order Nematoda, which includes worms and protozoans. This family consists of two genera, Siphonocrypta and Hymenoptera, with seven species in total. These animals are typically found in aquatic environments and feed on various types of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plant cells.

Cavoliniidae 🔍

Cavicolids are a family of nematodes in the order Nematoda, which includes some species that are known as "cavolarians." These parasitic nematodes feed on plant material and are responsible for significant losses due to their burrowing behavior.

Cacconaster 🔍

Cacconaster is a type of small, crustacean that belongs to the phylum Chordata and order Nematoda. These creatures are known for their ability to reproduce sexually in a group called gametophytes, which can be either female or male. Cacconasters have two sets of eyes: one located at the base of the head, and the other on the side that projects from the head. They are found primarily in freshwater environments such as streams, rivers

Renicolidae 🔍
