Genus Pseudochromadora Daday 1899
Diagnosis (from Verschelde et al. 2006): Short cylindrical body with short head capsule and short conical tail. Body annuli with distinct interannular spaces. Lateral alae extending from posterior to the pharynx as far as the tail. Short somatic setae arranged in six longitudinal rows. Two (or three) part head capsule: slender rounded labial region, followed by main part of the head capsule which has an extra-thick inner layer of the cuticle; a sutura can be present between the two (or three) regions of the head capsule. Four cephalic setae located either on the labial region or on the anterior rim of the main part of the head capsule. Unispiral amphids (at least in females in case of sexual dimorphism) located centrally on main region of the head capsule. Short cylindrical pharynx with bipartite terminal bulb. Males of most species have copulatory thorns and postcloacal thorns. Arched spicules; gubernaculums with capitulum.
