From HandWiki

Hopperia is a genus of chromadorid nematodes that belongs to the family Comesomatidae.[1]

Distribution

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus is a chromadorid nematode of the order Araeolaimida. It is more specifically a member of the family Comesomatidae. The species H. metatypica was originally described as a member of the genus Dorylaimopsis. However several studies have moved it to this genus due to its lateral differentiation consisting of larger, irregularly-distributed coarse dots.[2][3]
