Polymorphida
Polymorphida are an order of thorny-headed worms (phylum Acanthocephala). The adults of these parasitic platyzoans feed mainly on fish and aquatic birds. This order contains 5 families:Huston, D.

Polymorphidae
The thorny-headed worm family (biology), family Polymorphidae contains endoparasites which as adults feed mainly in fish and aquatic birds. When this taxon was erected by Meyer in 1931, a subfamily Polymorphinae was established in it. As the Polymorphidae as presently understood would then be monotypic, with no basal (evolution), basal genera outside the Polymorphinae, the proposed subfamily is redundant for the time being and therefore most modern treatments simply omit it. ''Polymorphus minutus'' is an economically significant parasite in domestic goose, goose and domestic duck, duck farming. Species Polymorphidae contains the following species: Andracantha ''Andracantha'' Schmidt, 1975 contains many species: *''Andracantha baylisi'' (Zdzitowiecki, 1986) Zdzitowiecki, 1989 *''Andracantha clavata'' (Goss, 1940) *''Andracantha gravida'' (Alegret, 1941) Schmidt, 1975 *''Andracantha mergi'' Lundström, 1942 *''Andracantha phalacrocoracis'' (Yamaguti, 1939) *''Andracantha tandem ...
