Chaetonotidae
Chaetonotidae is a family of gastrotrichs in the order Chaetonotida. It is the largest family of gastrotrichs with almost 400 species, some of which are marine and some freshwater. Current classification is largely based on shape and external structures but these are highly variable. Molecular studies show a high level of support for a clade containing Dasydytidae nested within Chaetonotidae. Genera The following genera are included in the family Chaetonotidae according to the World Register of Marine Species: *Subfamily Chaetonotinae Kisielewski, 1991 :*Genus '' Arenotus'' Kisielewski, 1987 ::*''Arenotus strixinoi'' Kisielewski, 1987 :*Genus '' Aspidiophorus'' Voigt, 1903 :*Genus '' Caudichthydium'' Schwank, 1990 :*Genus '' Chaetonotus'' Ehrenberg, 1830 :*Genus '' Fluxiderma'' d'Hondt, 1974 :*Genus ''Halichaetonotus'' Remane, 1936 :*Genus '' Heterolepidoderma'' Remane, 1926 :*Genus '' Ichthydium'' Ehrenberg, 1830 :*Genus '' Lepidochaetus'' Kisielewski, 1991 :*Genus '' Lepidoder ...

Gastrotricha
The gastrotrichs (phylum Gastrotricha), common name, commonly referred to as hairybellies or hairybacks, are a group of microscopic (0.06-3.0 mm), worm-like, acoelomate animals, and are widely distributed and abundant in freshwater and Marine (ocean), marine environments. They are mostly Benthos, benthic and live within the periphyton, the layer of tiny organisms and detritus that is found on the seabed and the beds of other Body of water, water bodies. The majority live on and between particles of sediment or on other submerged surfaces, but a few species are terrestrial and live on land in the film of water surrounding grains of soil. Gastrotrichs are divided into two Order (biology), orders, the Macrodasyida which are marine (except for two species), and the Chaetonotida, some of which are marine and some freshwater. Nearly 800 species of gastrotrich have been described. Gastrotrichs have a simple body plan with a head region, with a brain and sensory organs, and a trunk w ...
