Phasmids (posterior sensory structures) are well-developed, while amphids (anterior sensory structures) are poorly developed or absent in this group.

In an alternate classification system, they are treated as suborder Rhabditina, with the orders listed here being ranked as infraorders.

On the other hand, the old placement of the Ascaridida in Rhabditia instead of Spiruria seems unwarranted.

The Rhabditida contain a number of families which are probably better placed in the Tylenchia; alternatively, the latter group may entirely be merged with the Rhabditia.
