  • Xiphineminae (240 spp.)

Tribes;

  • Subfamily Longidorinae
    • Longidorini
    • Xiphidorini
  • Subfamily Xiphineminae

Genera
  • Subfamily Longidorinae
    • Tribe Longidorini
    • Tribe Xiphidorini
      • Australodorus (1 sp.)
      • Paraxiphidorus (3 spp.)

Pathology

With the Trichodoridae, the Longoridae form the two Enoplea nematode families known to be plant parasites, though from different subclasses, and the only virus vectors (particularly nepoviruses) in phylum Nematoda.[1]
