See text Aphelenchus is a genus of nematode in the family Aphelenchoididae.

[1] Member species inhabit soil and feed on fungi.

[6] They are included on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System database as valid species names,[1] but not listed on the World Register of Marine Species.

[4] A study by Chanu, Meitei, and Shah published in 2016 states Aphelenchus contains "about 30 nominal species", but states that they are difficult to reliably identify due to poor characterization.
