***Citellina*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of nematodes within the [Oxyuridae](/source/Oxyuridae) family. Species of this genus typically parasitise marmots and ground squirrels of holarctic distribution.[1] It was initially defined by Prendel in 1928, with the type species *Citellina dispar*[2]

*Citellina triradiata* has been recovered from the [Spotted Ground Squirrel](/source/Spotted_Ground_Squirrel) (*Xerospermophilus spilosoma*),[3] and *Citellina undulata* is described from the [Long-tailed Ground Squirrel](/source/Long-tailed_Ground_Squirrel) (*Urocitellus undulatus*).[1]
