Heteronemertea
Heteronemertea is a Monophyly, monophyletic order (biology), order of about 500 species of nemertean worms. It contains genus, genera such as ''Lineus'' and ''Cerebratulus'', and includes the largest and most muscular nemerteans. Almost all heteronemerteans have three primary body-wall muscle strata: an outer longitudinal, a middle circular, and an inner longitudinal. The lateral nerve cords are outside the circular muscle, as in palaeonemerteans, but separated from the Squamous epithelium, epidermis by the usually well-developed outer longitudinal muscle. Taxonomy Families within the order Heteronemertea include: *Baseodiscidae *Cerebratulidae *Gorgonorhynchidae *Lineidae *Mixolineidae *Panorhynchidae *Poliopsiidae *Polybrachiorhynchidae *Pussylineidae *Riseriellidae *Valenciniidae References

Nemertean
Nemertea is a phylum of animals also known as ribbon worms or proboscis worms, consisting of about 1300 known species. Most ribbon worms are very slim, usually only a few millimeters wide, although a few have relatively short but wide bodies. Many have patterns of yellow, orange, red and green coloration. The foregut, stomach and intestine run a little below the midline of the body, the anus is at the tip of the tail, and the mouth is under the front. A little above the gut is the , a cavity which mostly runs above the midline and ends a little short of the rear of the body. All species have a proboscis which lies in the rhynchocoel when inactive but wikt:eversion, everts to emerge just above the mouth to capture the animal's prey with venom. A highly extensible muscle in the back of the rhynchocoel pulls the proboscis in when an attack ends. A few species with stubby bodies Filter feeders, filter feed and have suckers at the front and back ends, with which they attach to a Hos ...

Gorgonorhynchus Repens
''Gorgonorhynchus repens'' is a species of the proboscis worm in the subclass Heteronemertea and of the family Gorgonorhynchidae. It is to be found on the seabed in shallow water in the Pacific Ocean. Description ''G. repens'' is orange in color and grows to an unstretched length of about . It is cylindrical in shape with bluntly tapering ends. Proboscis worms are known for their reversible proboscides, but in most species these are unbranched and cylindrical, or may have a sharp, venomous stylet part way to the tip. In a few instances, they are branched but the side branches are short and the proboscis resembles a feather. In the case of ''G. repens'', the proboscis is a densely branching structure giving the impression of a cloud of mucus secretion. Distribution and habitat ''G. repens'' is native to the Pacific Ocean where it is found in shallow water on the seabed, living on the surface or tunnelling through soft sediment. Ecology Proboscis worms in general are predatory ...
