Archiacanthocephala
Archiacanthocephala is a class within the phylum of Acanthocephala. They are parasitic worms that attach themselves to the intestinal wall of terrestrial vertebrates, including humans. They are characterised by the body wall and the lemnisci (which are a bundle of sensory nerve fibers), which have nuclei that divide without spindle formation, or the appearance of chromosomes, or it has a few amoebae-like giant nuclei. Typically, there are eight separate cement glands in the male, which is one of the few ways to distinguish the dorsal and ventral sides of these organisms. Taxonomy Genetic data are not available for the genus ''Apororhynchus'' in public databases, and ''Apororhynchus'' has not been included in Phylogenetics, phylogenetic analyses thus far due to insufficiency of Morphology (biology), morphological data. However, the lack of features such as an absence of a muscle plate, a wikt:midventral, midventral wikt:longitudinal, longitudinal muscle, wikt:lateral, lateral recep ...
