Spinitectoides is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae.
Species of Spinitectoides are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of fish.
[2] The genus Spinitectoides is known only from larvae and females; its main characteristics are "a festooned cuticular ornament on the anterior part of body and an apical structure closely similar to this of Cystidicola".
The specific epithet berlandi obviously refers to Bjørn Berland,[1] a Norwegian parasitologist who described similar specimens in 1961.
[4] Spinitectoides berlandi is a parasite of marine fish, including pouting, Trisopterus luscus (Gadidae) and common ling, Molva molva (Lotidae).
