== 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.<ref>The phylogenetic relationships of Caenorhabditis and other rhabditids.
