Families (and genera)
Chaetodermidae Falcidentidae Falcidens Limifossoridae Metachaetodermatidae Prochaetodermatidae Scutopodidae class within the phylum Mollusca, also known as Chaetodermomorpha. The class is often combined with Solenogastres and termed Aplacophora. However, such a grouping is not monophyletic; molecular data suggests that the Caudofoveata are a sister group to the cephalopods.[1] Anatomy Caudofoveata are small (1-30 mm), mainly deep sea molluscs. They are worm-like, lacking shells or distinct muscular feet; they instead have scales and calcareous spines called sclerites, for movement. Ecology Caudofoveates live by burrowing through soft sediment, and feed by lying vertically in the sediment with just the mouthparts exposed and taking in passing organic detritus. During sexual reproduction, the female produces eggs which are fertilized and brooded, and then the larvae swim freely. Diet Caudofoveates feed on foramanifera.[2] Taxonomy Caudofoveata comprises the following families and genera: Chaetodermidae Falcidentidae Falcidens Limifossoridae Metachaetodermatidae Prochaetodermatidae Scutopodidae edit] References ^ Giribet; Okusu, A; Lindgren, A.R.; Huff, S.W.; Schrödl, M; Nishiguchi, M.K.
