- Species Eubostrichus exile accepted as Catanema exile Cobb, 1920 (wrong combination)
- Species Eubostrichus exilis (Cobb, 1920) Gerlach, 1963 op. Ott et al., 1995 accepted as Catanema exile Cobb, 1920
- Species Eubostrichus gerlachi Hopper & Cefalu, 1973 accepted as Laxus gerlachi (Hopper & Cefalu, 1973) Tchesunov, 2013
- Species Eubostrichus porosum (Hopper & Cefalu, 1973) accepted as Catanema porosum Hopper & Cefalu, 1973 accepted as Robbea porosum (Hopper & Cefalu, 1973) Tchesunov, 2013 (This combination never existed. Gerlach (1963) synonymised Catanema with Eubostrichus but Hopper & Cefalu (1973) later refuted this when first describing Catanema porosum. Catanema is still considered a valid genus by Tchesunov 2013)

Nomenclature OPINION 2046 (Case 3185)
Criconema Hofmänner & Menzel, 1914 (Nematoda): Eubostrichus guernei Certes, 1899 designated as the type species.
Criconema Hofmänner & Menzel, 1914 (Nematoda): Eubostrichus guernei Certes, 1899 designated as the type species.
Abstract. The Commission has ruled that current usage of the generic names Criconema Hofmänner & Menzel, 1914 and Criconemoides Taylor, 1936 is maintained by the designation of Eubostrichus guernei Certes, 1889 as the type species of the free-living soil nematode genus Criconema. [details]
