Solenogaster
The Solenogastres (less often referred to as Neomeniomorpha), commonly known as solenogasters, are a class of small, worm-like, shell-less molluscs ( Aplacophora), the other class being the Caudofoveata ( Chaetodermomorpha).MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Solenogastres. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=2094 on 2021-04-14 Some recent literature and recent molecular evidence, indicates that the Aplacophora may be polyphyletic, and therefore some taxonomists may divide Solenogastres and Caudofoveata into separate classes. Morphology In contrast to many other mollusc classes, aplacophorans have no shell, and are instead covered by aragonitic sclerites (calcareous spicules), which can be solid or hollow. These spicules can be arranged perpendicular to one another within the cuticle to form a skeleton, stick up to form a palisade, or can lie flat against the cuticle. 80% of solenogaster species hav ...
