Gordiidae is a family of parasitic horsehair worms belonging to the order Gordioidea.[1]

Description

To date only two genera have been identified in the Gordiidae. These horsehair worms are characterized by a post-cloacal crescent located at the base of the two tail lobes. The genera are distinguished by the distinctly pointed tips on male Acutogordius tail lobes in comparison with Gordius.[2] Recorded hosts are usually Polyneopteran insects such as Orthoptera and Mantodea.
