Feeding:

 Siddiqi (2000) considered nematodes in the family to have “two types of generation, one free-living, fungus- or plant-feeding, another involving a heterosexual female parasitic in the insect haemocoel”. The feeding habit and generation status of A. amolensis is unknown

In molecular analysis, Anguillonema amolensis  formed  a clade with a specimen of Howardula (family Allantonematidae) and with two species of of Parasitylenchus (family Parasitylenchidae). Thus it is probable that the suborder Hexatylina of the order Tylenchida is not monophylatic (Mobasseri et al., 2017).
