Cosmopolitan, extend- ing well into the polar seas. Some attain a length of 25 to 30 mm. The individuals sometimes occur in enormous numbers. The pharyngeal teeth vary in number, form, and size, and afford good specific characters. The segments of the esopha- gus frequently contain much-branched "salivary" glands emptying through the pharyngeal teeth. The female sometimes possesses a pecu- liar pair of relatively large organs of un- known significance emptying through pores toward the tail end. Representative species.

Two species known; the type 0. calvadosicus de Man is marine. Representative species. Oncholaimellus heterurus Cobb 1914. It is rather difficult to observe the finer details of the cuticula on account of the presence in it of numerous dot-like ele- ments, which are arranged in longitudinal groups, of which the widest are the lateral groups.
