- For example: the body length (varies intra- and inter-specifically in the other genera of the family), the tail shape (similar exceptions are found within the genus Paratrichodorus''), the more allopatric distribution (but restricted to South America as are the other monodelphic species), to a lesser extent the position of the secretory-excretory pore (similar as in three species of ''Paratrichodorus'', but showing variation as in some specimens of e.g. ''P. Anthurii'' where the position of the S-E pore shows a wide intraspecific variability), the absence of caudal pores (exceptions are also found in ''Paratrichodorus ).

- An exception that proves the rule is that the ranges of species in Selaginella , a heterosporous pteridophyte, tend to be much smaller and more allopatric (Valdespino 1993).
