Rotylenchulus (Linford and Oliveira, 1940)
Synonyms:
Spirotylenchus (= Spyrotylenchus) (Lordello and Cesnik, 1958)
Leiperotylenchus (Das, 1960)
The genus name, Rotylenchulus, was given by Linford and Oliviera because they thought that these nematodes were similar to the genus Rotylenchus.

There are about ten species in the genus (Fortuner, 1987), but R. reniformis is perhaps the most economically important species of the group.
