Differential diagnosis
Paracriconema n. gen. differs from Nothocriconema by the rounded conical tail of four to eight annules, VL/VB=1(0.7-1.1) (conical pointed tail of 8-15 annules, VL/VB=1.5(1.1-2) in Nothocriconema) and by the juveniles with smooth scales (scales spine-tipped in Nothocriconema). (ref. ID; 5958)
