'''''Oscheius''''' is a genus of [nematode](/source/nematode).

''[O. tipulae](/source/Oscheius_tipulae)'' is a satellite developmental genetic [model organism](/source/model_organism) used to study vulva formation.<ref>Polymorphism and evolution of vulval precursor cell lineages within two nematode genera, Caenorhabditis and Oscheius. M Delattre, MA Félix - Current Biology, 2001</ref>

In phylogenetic studies, based on the analysis of sequences of three nuclear genes, ''Oscheius'' groups with ''[Caenorhabditis](/source/Caenorhabditis)'' species  and the ''[Diploscapter](/source/Diploscapter)'', ''[Protorhabditis](/source/Protorhabditis)'' and ''[Prodontorhabditis](/source/Prodontorhabditis)'' 'Protorhabditis' group, all included in the 'Eurhabditis' group of Rhabditidae genera.<ref>The phylogenetic relationships of Caenorhabditis and other rhabditids.
