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 ...

Nemerteans
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 ...
