It is also compared with X. abrantinum, from which it differs in size, lip region shape and absence of males. X. kikuyense n. sp. is compared with X. malagasi, X. limbeense, X. malawiense and X. rarum. From X. limbeense and X. malawiense it differs in the possession of uterine spines, and from the former three species in the presence of males. It differs from X. rarum in the length of the hyaline tail tip and especially in shape and size of the male tail.},

It has cornua measuring 12-14 mu m and cervical expansions extending well posterior to the anteriormost somatic setae. The known species T. auriculatus is described from soil and from a derived culture. On agar, T. auriculatus swings its lip region dorsally and ventrally during feeding, in a continuously oscillating sweeping motion independent of body locomotion. The hypothesis is proposed that this behaviour is functionally linked to the expanded and flattened lip region, and that T. auriculatus and other Wilsonematinae are specialized in sweeping up bacteria attached to flat microsurfaces in soils. Furthermore, morphological and developmental observations suggest that the species has only three juvenile stages, with marked metamorphosis of the lip region during the first and second moult.},

Yolk, four of the coelomocytes, and the oocytes bind most often with the lectins used. Although the intestinal brush border interacts with a lot of foreign materials, it stained only with few lectins. The lectin binding pattern of the yolk indicated that, at the time of incorporation of the yolk in embryos or shortly thereafter, a processing of the yolk occurs resulting in changes in lectin-binding characteristics of the yolk protein.},
