WIKIPEDIA

The nematodes ( /ˈnɛmətoʊdz/) or roundworms are traditionally regarded as the phylum Nematoda or Nemathelminthes.[

The group was originally defined by Karl Rudolphi in 1808[18] under the name Nematoidea, from Ancient Greek νῆμα (nêma, nêmatos, 'thread') and -eiδἠς (-eidēs, 'species'). It was reclassified as family Nematodes by Burmeister in 1837[18] and order Nematoda by K. M. Diesing in 1861.[18]
