Type species of the genus:  Paradolichodera tenuissima Sturhan, Wouts and Subbotin, 2007.


    Synonyms:

Cyst nematodes collected along the banks of a lagoon near Christchurch, New Zealamd appeared similar in characteristics to Dolichodera fluvialis. However, the very slender J2s and characteristics of the genus were considered sufficient for the proposal of a new genus.
