Suborders

Rhabditida is an order of nematodes that can be found as free-living organisms, parasites, or microbivores living in soil.

The Cephalobidae, Panagrolaimidae, Steinernematidae, and Strongyloididae seem to be closer to the Tylenchia, regardless of whether these are merged with the Rhabditia or not.[1]
