Phylogenetic studies

The analysis of sequences of three nuclear genes shows that the Diploscapter , Protorhabditis and Prodontorhabditis genera group together to form the 'Protorhabditis' group, the sister group of the Caenorhabditis species, all included in the 'Eurhabditis' group of Rhabditidae genera. ^[10]
