In a study published in 1968, M.S. Jairajpuri argued that A. mirzai and A. maximus were synonyms of A. avenae.[6] They are included on the Integrated Taxonomic Information System database as valid species names,[1] but not listed on the World Register of Marine Species.[4] A study by Chanu, Meitei, and Shah published in 2016 states Aphelenchus contains "about 30 nominal species", but states that they are difficult to reliably identify due to poor characterization.[3]
