Tobrilina

 Tooth extrusion by Kinonchulus sattleri, from Lorenzen (1985) via here.

Belongs within: Enoplia.

The Tobrilina are a clade of nematodes supported by SSU rDNA analysis, though no obvious morphological characters unite them (Ley & Blaxter 2002). The Prismatolaimidae have a wide, prismatic stoma whereas Tobriloidea usually have a funnel-shaped stoma armed with teeth at its base.
