Phylogenetic trees and tables constructed from collected specimens of the suborder Criconematina Siddiqi, 1980 Clades on the trees and table entries are linked to more detailed information on the individual specimens, including photographs, measurements, collection data and GenBank records, as available. Updating of trees is ongoing, and new revised trees are produced as necessary l In these pages, Macroposthonia = Mesocriconema l
