As originally described by Cobb in 1913, Trichodorus was the only genus in its family. However, in 1974 the genus was split into two genera in 1974 by Siddiqi, Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus.
The genus, which is the largest in the family consists of 54 species. The females are didelphic (two genital tracts), and are distributed worldwide.
