Classification Several minor orders presented in Fauchald (1977)are now regarded as superfluous. All orders so tagged do not have child taxa that are currently in use. Basically the classification of Rouse & Pleijel (2001: Fig.1.1) is presented here, with old name Errantia substituting for their Aciculata and old name Sedentaria including their Canalipalpata and Scolecida, but if the indications of placements in Zrzavý et al (2009) are implemented, then Scolecida is polyphyletic and its families should disperse into Terebellida and Sabellida. Further, Struck (2011) has introduced Clade Pleistoannelida defined as the last common ancestor of a revived Errantia and Sedentaria, with the latter containing Clitellata (leeches and earthworms). This view is partly integrated into the WoRMS arrangement of Annelida taxa, although his new Pleistoannelida may be superfluous if Polychaeta is retained. Palpata as a subclass appears likely to be superfluous and is not currently used here. Some interstitial annelid families (including former 'archiannelids') are under 'Polychaeta incertae sedis' awaiting assignment, together with some other taxa of obscure or Polychaeta-basal affinities. [details]Source Classification of the ERMS polychaetes was originally based, down to genus level, on Fauchald (1977). For ERMS species mainly Hartmann-Schroeder (1996) was used. More recently for the World Polychaeta Database (WPD) the classification of Rouse & Pleijel (2001) and Struck (2011) influenced the taxon tree organisation. [details]
