Classification:

       Tylenchina
        Tylenchoidea
         Hoplolaimidae
          Hoplolaiminae  

            Peltamigratus Sher, 1963

Type species of the genus: Peltamigratus christiei (Golden & Taylor, 1956) Sher, 1963

    Synonyms:
      Aorolaimus (Sher, 1964)
      Nectopelta (Siddiqi, 1986)

Note, In Sher's (1963) revision of the Hoplolaiminae, he erected the genus Peltamigratus with P. chrlstiei as the type species. He described four new species in the same paper.

Fortuner, 1987 and Baujard et al, 1991, 1994 considered Peltamigratus a junior synonym of Aorolaimus. However, Siddiqi (2000) resurrected Peltamigratus.
