). The confusion of having a hierarchical nesting of groups that were formerly mutually exclusive has led to a profusion of names. Although completely revised taxonomy of nematodes that builds on recent classification systems
as well as recent phylogenetic evidence
is still necessary, most contemporary
taxonomic studies now treat all groups listed under "Diplogasterina" below as a single family,
Diplogastridae.
