Classification:

Enoplea

Dorylaimia

Isolaimiida

Aulolaimina

Aulolaimoidea

Aulolaimidae De Man, 1880

       Aulolaimus De Man, 1880

Type species of the genus:  Aulolaimus oxycephalus De Man, 1893

    Synonyms:   

Pandurinema (Timm, 1957), Jairajpuri & Hooper, 1968

Per Abolafia and Pena-Santiago, 2018, the Aulolaimidae and its genera are transferred to the order Isolaimida (sometimes used as Isolaimiidae):

• The close relationship of Aulolaimus with Isolaimium. Isolaimium in the order Isoaimiida. That order was shown with morphological and molecular analyses to be seoarate from other nematode orders.
• Consequently, the order Isolaimiida is considered valid and Aulolaimus and other genera belonging to the family Aulolaimidae are transferred to the Isolaimiida (Abolafia and Pena-Santiago, 2018).
