Heteronemertea
Heteronemertea is a monophyletic order of about 500 species of nemertean worm. It contains 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 epidermis by the usually well-developed outer longitudinal muscle. Taxonomy Families within the order Heteronemertea include: * Baseodiscidae * Cerebratulidae * Gorgonorhynchidae *Lineidae Lineidae is a family of nemertean worms. It contains the following genera: * '' Aetheolineus'' Senz, 1993 * '' Ammolineus'' Senz, 2001 * ''Antarctolineus'' Muller & Scripcariu, 1964 * ''Apatronemertes'' Wilfert & Gibson, 1974 * '' Australineus'' ... * Mixolineidae * Panorhynchidae * Poliopsiidae * Polybrachiorhynchidae * Pussylineidae * Riseriellidae * Vale ...

Nemertean
Nemertea is a phylum of animals also known as ribbon worms or proboscis worms, consisting of 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 rhynchocoel, 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 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 feed and have suckers at the front and back ends, with which they attach to a host. The brain is a ring ...

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 colour 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 ...

Parborlasia Corrugatus
''Parborlasia corrugatus'' is a proboscis worm in the family Cerebratulidae. This species of proboscis or ribbon worm can grow to in length, and lives in marine environments down to . This scavenger and predator is widely distributed in cold southern oceans. Description ''Parborlasia corrugatus'' is smooth and flat. Adults measure , with a diameter of approximately . Specimens can weigh up to . Their colouration is variable, ranging from cream through various tones of black.Peter Brueggeman''Nemertina, proboscis worms – Underwater Field Guide to Ross Island & McMurdo Sound, Antarctica''/ref> This worm has a wedge-shaped head containing a cavity filled with fluid. It uses this to fire an adhesive, barbed proboscis as a means of defense, and to capture prey. This organ has adhesive secretion to aid in securing its meal. Although this creature does not have a dedicated respiratory system, ''Parborlasia corrugata'' is able to obtain oxygen by absorbing it through its skin. A ...
