– 4: labial region with five annuli
– 5: labial region with six annuli
– 6: labial region with 7-8 annuli
– 7: labial region with 9-10 annuli
B) Labial region shape:
– 1: labial region hemispherical
– 2: labial region rounded
– 3: labial region conoid
– 4: labial region truncate
C) Lateral field areolation:
– 1: areolated only in pharyngeal region
– 2: areolated in pharyngeal region and irregularly areolated at mid-body
– 3: areolated in pharyngeal region and incompletely areolated at mid-body
– 4: areolated in pharyngeal region and near phasmids
– 5: areolated along whole length of body except at tail region
– 6: areolated along whole length of body including the tail region
– 7: incompletely areolated along whole body
D) Body longitudinal striations:
– 1: punctated along body annuli
– 2: longitudinally striated in pharyngeal region
– 3: longitudinally striated over whole body
– 4: without body striations
E) Stylet length:
– 1: stylet shorter than 30 micrometer
– 2: stylet between 30 and 35.9 micrometer

– 3: pharyngeal gland overlapping by 21-30.9 micrometer
– 4: pharyngeal gland overlapping by 31-40.9 micrometer
– 5: pharyngeal gland overlapping by > 41 micrometer
H) Tail shape:
– 1: hemispherical
– 2: rounded

– 4: pointed
– 5: with ventral projection
I) Ratio V:
– 1: ratio V < 50%
– 2: ratio V of 50-70%
– 3: ratio V > 70%
J) Presence of males:
– 1: males present
– 2: males absent
K) Phasmid position:

– 2: at level of anus (from five annuli anterior to five annuli posterior to anus)
– 3: well posterior to level of anus (> five annuli posterior to anus)
Expected Bray-Curtis similarity: %
Note: feature D in the matrix code for R. goodeyi has been changed from D4–>D2 due to the mistake of Castillo and Vovlas in coding
