'''Trichodoridae''' ('''stubby-root nematodes''', '''trichodorids''') is a family of terrestrial root feeding nematodes, being one of two that constitute suborder Triplonchida.<ref name=ucr>[http://faculty.ucr.edu/~pdeley/lab/triplonchida.html Phylum Nematoda: Triplochida] Nematode Classification.

== Taxonomy == The first trichodorid was described in 1880 (De Man) as ''Dorylaimus primitivus'', and the type genus, ''Trichodorus'' described in 1913 by Cobb, based on ''Trichodorus obtusus''.{{sfn|Decraemer|1995|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=qW19ryMat_EC&pg=PA4 pp. 4, 29]}}

=== Subdivision === Historically, up to 1973, ''Trichodorus'' was the only genus in this family. Originally it was the only genus in a subfamily, the Trichodorinae Thorne 1935,<ref name=Thorne/> within the family Diphtherophoridae, to distinguish it from the other subfamily, Diphtherophorinae.{{sfn|Zuckerman|1971|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=UlNTQl4E4nIC&pg=PA165 p. 165]}} However Diphtherophoridae was elevated to superfamily rank, and the subfamily Trichodorinae became a full-fledged family.{{sfn|Decraemer|1995|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=qW19ryMat_EC&pg=PA257 p. 257]}} The genus ''Trichodorus'' was split into two genera in 1974 by Siddiqi,<ref name=Siddiqi>{{cite journal | last1 = Siddiqi | first1 = M.R. | year = 1974 | title = Systematics of the genus ''Trichodorus'' Cobb, 1913 (Nematoda: Dorylaimida), with descriptions of three new species | journal = Nematologica | volume = 19 | pages = 259–278 }}</ref> ''Trichodorus'' and ''Paratrichodorus''. This was based on the position of the gland nuclei and the type of pharyngo-intestinal junction. Siddiqi also used these criteria to divide ''Paratrichodirus'' into three subgenera, ''Paratrichodorus'', ''Atlantadorus'' and ''Nanidorus''. Rodriguez-Montessorosoon proposed further separating these genera into two subfamilies, resurrecting the name Trichodorinae.<ref>[http://genisys.prd.fr/Fortuner_1984b.pdf Fortuner R.

=== Phylogenetics === In the case of ''Nanidorus'', phylogenetic analysis has supported its recognition as a separate genus, although clustering with ''Trichodorus'' rather than its parent ''Paratrichodorus''.{{sfn|Duarte et al.|2010}}{{sfn|Kumari|Subbotin|2012}}

=== Genera === There were few species recognised before the economic importance of the family was recognised, and in 1957 there were only 12, but this increased rapidly. In addition further genera than the original ''Trichodorus'' (1913) and ''Paratrichodorus'' (1974) were created in the 1970s, and another genus in 2002.{{sfn|Decraemer|1995|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=qW19ryMat_EC&pg=PA3 p. 3]}}

The two largest genera have didelphic females (two genital tracts), and are distributed worldwide. In the contrast the three small genera, have females that are monodelphic-prodelphic (single tract) and are native to Central America and the northern part of South America.

=== Etymology === Trichodoridae comes from the Greek trichos (a hair) and dory (a spear).<ref name=ucd/> The name "stubby-root" comes from the effect of the nematodes on the root system which appears "stubby" or stunted.<ref>[http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in617 W.
