  2. Annelid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annelid

    Annelids are members of the protostomes, one of the two major superphyla of bilaterian animals – the other is the deuterostomes, which includes vertebrates. [68] Within the protostomes, annelids used to be grouped with arthropods under the super-group Articulata ("jointed animals"), as segmentation is obvious in most members of both phyla.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistoannelida

    Pleistoannelida is a group of annelid worms that comprises the vast majority of the diversity in phylum Annelida.Discovered through phylogenetic analyses, it is the largest clade of annelids, comprised by the last common ancestor of the highly diverse sister groups Errantia and Sedentaria (Clitellata and related polychaetes) and all the descendants of that ancestor.

    Lamellibrachia luymesi is a cold seep tube worm that reaches lengths of over 3 m and may be the most long-lived annelid, being over 250 years old. A still unclassified multilegged predatory polychaete worm was identified only by observation from the underwater vehicle Nereus at the bottom of the Challenger Deep , the greatest depth in the ...

  7. Clitellata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clitellata

    Clitellate annelids are segmented worms characterised by the clitellum or girdle which is located near the head end of mature individuals. The mouth is on the ventral surface and is overhung by the prostomium (proboscis). The brain is not located in the head but in one of the body segments.

  8. Errantia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errantia

    Errantia is a diverse group of marine polychaete worms in the phylum Annelida. Traditionally a subclass of the paraphyletic class Polychaeta, [4] it is currently regarded as a monophyletic group within the larger Pleistoannelida, composed of Errantia and Sedentaria. [2] These worms are found worldwide in marine environments and brackish water.

  9. Articulata (superphylum) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulata_(superphylum)

    The Articulata hypothesis, simply stated, is the phylogenetic grouping of the phylum Annelida (which includes polychaetes, oligochaetes, and leeches) together with the phylum Arthropoda (arachnids, insects and crustaceans) into the common taxon Articulata. Cuvier grouped these diverse phyla together according to the common structural feature ...
