Caudofoveata
Caudofoveata is a small class within the phylum Mollusca, also known as Chaetodermomorpha. The class is often combined with Solenogastres and termed Aplacophora, but some studies have cast doubt on the monophyly of this group. Anatomy Caudofoveata are small (1–30 mm), mainly deep sea molluscs. They are worm-like, lacking shells or distinct muscular feet; they instead have scales and calcareous spines called sclerites, for movement. Ecology Caudofoveates live by burrowing through soft sediment, and feed by lying vertically in the sediment with just the mouthparts exposed and taking in passing organic detritus. During sexual reproduction, the female produces eggs which are fertilized and brooded, and then the larvae swim freely. Diet Caudofoveates feed on foraminifera Foraminifera (; Latin for "hole bearers"; informally called "forams") are single-celled organisms, members of a phylum or class of amoeboid protists characterized by streaming granular ectoplasm ...

Molluscs
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals after the Arthropoda, the members of which are known as molluscs or mollusks (). Around 85,000 extant taxon, extant species of molluscs are recognized. The number of fossil species is estimated between 60,000 and 100,000 additional species. The proportion of undescribed species is very high. Many taxa remain poorly studied. Molluscs are the largest marine biology, marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. Numerous molluscs also live in freshwater mollusc, freshwater and Terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial habitats. They are highly diverse, not just in size and anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and habitat. The phylum is typically divided into 7 or 8 Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic class (biology), classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurobiology, neurologically advanced of all inve ...

Falcidens
''Falcidens'' is one of three genera within the family Chaetodermatida; its radula consists of a single row of teeth which are mineralized in crystalline hydroxyapatite (a most unusual mineral in organisms), and its teeth are not periodically shed and replaced like in other molluscs. '' For details of the radula, see Radula#In caudofoveates.'' It contains the following species: * '' Falcidens acutargatus'' Salvini-Plawen, 1992 * '' Falcidens aequabilis'' Salvini-Plawen, 1972 * '' Falcidens caudatus'' Heath, 1918) * '' Falcidens chiastos'' Scheltema, 1989 * '' Falcidens crossotus'' Salvini-Plawen, 1968 * '' Falcidens gutturosus'' Kowalewsky, 1901) * '' Falcidens halanychi'' Schander, Scheltema & Ivanov, 2006 * '' Falcidens hartmanae'' Schwabl, 1961) * '' Falcidens hoffmanni'' Stork, 1939) * '' Falcidens indicus'' Stork, 1941) * '' Falcidens ingolfensis'' Salvini-Plawen, 1971 * '' Falcidens limifossorides'' Salvini-Plawen, 1986 * '' Falcidens liosqueameus'' Salvini-Plawen, ...
