'''Tylenchidae''' is a family of nematodes. They are an important group of soil dwelling species that frequently contributes as much as 30% to the nematode species richness of soil samples.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Qing|first1=Xue|last2=Bert|first2=Wim|date=2019|title=Family Tylenchidae (Nematoda): an overview and perspectives|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/s13127-019-00404-4|journal=Organisms Diversity & Evolution|language=en|volume=19|issue=3|pages=391–408|doi=10.1007/s13127-019-00404-4|s2cid=256012434 |issn=1439-6092|url-access=subscription}}</ref> They diverged relatively early on and many species pose little risk to economically important plant species.<ref name=":0" /> Due to their early divergence, species tend to have relatively basal characteristics.<ref name=":0" /> They tend to be small and slender with small and delicate piercing mouthparts.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020|title=Tylenchidae|url=http://nemaplex.ucdavis.edu/Taxadata/TYLEIDAE.HTM|access-date=2021-08-18|website=Nemaplex}}</ref>
