Paracapillaria is a genus of parasitic nematodes. Species of the genus Paracapillaria parasitise fishes and amphibians, reptiles (snakes), and a single species, Paracapillaria philippinensis(Chitwood, Velasquez & Salazar, 1968), is known from birds and mammals including man.
Philometra is a genus of nematodes, which are parasites of marine and freshwater fishes. The genus was erected by Oronzio Gabriele Costa in 1845.
Philometra priacanthi is a species of parasitic nematode of fishes. Its name is derived from its host species, Priacanthus hamrur. It possesses dorsal lamella-like structures on the distal part of its gubernaculum, which can also be found on other of its cogenerates. The only species with a dorsal protuberance near the gubernaculum's end is P. priacanthi, however. P. lateolabracis can be distinguished from the former by the lateral caudal mounds separated dorsally, narrower lamella-like structures on its gubernaculum, shorter spicules, and by the testis extending anteriorly. Other gonad-infecting species differ from this one by possessing a smooth gubernaculum, and their spicules being of different lengths. Seven gonad-infecting species of Philometra can be distinguished from P. priacanthi by their host types, as well as by geographical distribution.
Philometra fasciati is a species of parasitic nematode of fishes, first found off New Caledonia in the South Pacific, in the gonads Epinephelus fasciatus. This species is characterized mainly by: length of spicules and length and structure of its gubernaculum; structure of male caudal end; body size; location in host and types of hosts.
Cucullanus bulbosus is a species of parasitic nematodes. It is an endoparasite of carangid fishes.
Rasheedia is a genus of nematodes in the order Spirurida. The nematode genus BulbocephalusRasheed, 1966 was found to be a homonym of BulbocephalusWatson, 1916 and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., was proposed in 2018 to substitute it.

According to the World Register of Marine Species, the genus currently (2019) includes a single species, Ascarophisnema tridentatum.
Neoterranova is a genus of parasitic nematodes that have life cycles involving sharks and reptiles. The genus was created in 2020 to accommodate species which were previously included inTerranovaLeiper & Atkinson, 1914 a taxon considered to be invalid.
