'''Bilateria''' is an extremely diverse group of animals containing a vast majority of its species, largely due to the enormous amount of [[arthropods]]. This article is a list of orders contained within [[Bilateria]] separated by phylum. Groups that are not contained within an order are listed separately.
'''List of bilateral animal orders''' contains the [[Bilateria]] of the animal subkingdom [[Eumetazoa]], divided into four superphyla, [[Deuterostome|Deuterostomia]], and the three [[Protostome]] superphyla, [[Ecdysozoa]], and the two [[Spiralia]] superphyla, [[Platyzoa]] and [[Lophotrochozoa]].

Annelid taxonomy is currently under constant revisions due to the discovery that the class [[Polychaeta]] is paraphyletic. As such, a comprehensive list of orders is likely to change depending on what is accepted as valid.

Latest revision as of 16:38, 12 November 2024

The relative number of species contributed to the total by each phylum of animals. Arthropoda is the phylum with the most individual organisms.

Bilateria is an extremely diverse group of animals containing a vast majority of its species, largely due to the enormous amount of arthropods. This article is a list of orders contained within Bilateria separated by phylum. Groups that are not contained within an order are listed separately.

List

[edit]

Phylum Annelida

[edit]
Hirudo medicinalis. Order Arhynchobdellida

Annelid taxonomy is currently under constant revisions due to the discovery that the class Polychaeta is paraphyletic. As such, a comprehensive list of orders is likely to change depending on what is accepted as valid.

Class Sipuncula

Clade Pleistoannelida

Unplaced groups

The house fly. Order Diptera

See List of arthropod orders

Terebratalia transversa. Order Terebratulida

Class Craniata

Subphylum Linguliformea

Subphylum Rhynchonelliformea

Phylum Bryozoa

[edit]
A colony of Membranipora membranacea. Order Cheilostomatida

Class Gymnolaemata

Class Phylactolaemata

Class Stenolaemata

Spadella cephaloptera. Order Phragmophora

Unplaced groups

Phylum Chordata

[edit]
The great white shark. Order Lamniformes

See List of chordate orders

Symbion americanus. Order Symbiida

Class Eucycliophora

Phylum Dicyemida

[edit]
Dicyema japonicum

Dicyemida does not contain any established orders but does contain three families: Conocyemidae, Dicyemidae and Kantharellidae

Asterias rubens. Order Forcipulatida

See List of echinoderm orders

A colony of Barentsia ramosa

Entoprocta has no orders but is split into four families; Barentsiidae, Pedicellinidae, Loxokalypodidae, and Loxosomatidae

Paradasys subterraneus. Order Macrodasyida
Gnathostomula paradoxa. Order Bursovaginoidea
Unknown species of acorn worm (class Enteropneusta).

The classes Planctosphaeroidea and Enteropneusta do not contain any orders

Class Pterobranchia

Unplaced groups

Echinoderes marthae. Order Echinorhagata

Class Cyclorhagida

Class Allomalorhagida

  • Anomoirhaga

Unplaced groups

Spinoloricus cinziae. Order Nanaloricida

Loricifera has no classes and all species are contained within one order

Limnognathia maerski. Order Limnognathida

Micrognathozoa has no classes and its single species is placed in one order

Phylum Mollusca

[edit]
Sepioteuthis sepioidea. Order Myopsida

See List of mollusc orders

Phylum Nematoda

[edit]
Caenorhabditis elegans. Order Rhabditida

Nematode taxonomy is far from fully resolved, and different schemes might be used. For this list, Mike Hodda's Phylum Nematoda: a classification, catalogue and index of valid genera, with a census of valid species classification is used.[1]

Class Enoplea

  • Subclass Enoplia
    • Superorder Enoplica
      • Alaimida
      • Enoplida
      • Ironida
      • Trefusiida
      • Tripyloidida
    • Superorder Rhaptothyreica
      • Rhaptothyreida
  • Subclass Oncholaimia
  • Subclass Triplonchia

Class Dorylaimea

Class Chromadorea

Paragordius tricuspidatus. Order Gordioidea

Phylum Nemertea

[edit]
Baseodiscus quinquelineatus. Order Heteronemertea

Class Hoplonemertea

Class Palaeonemertea

Class Pilidiophora

Epiperipatus biolleyi

Onychophora contains no classes and no orders, but is split into two living families; Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae, and 5 extinct genera; Antennacanthopodia, Antennipatus, Helenodora, Succinipatopsis, and Tertiapatus.

A drawing of Rhopalura giardii

Orthonectida contains no classes or orders, but is split into two families; Pelmatosphaeridae and Rhopaluridae

Phylum Phoronida

[edit]
Phoronopsis harmeri

Phoronida contains no classes, orders, or families, but is split into two genera; Phoronis and Phoronopsis

Pseudoceros ferrugineus. Order Polycladida

The class Catenulida contains no orders.

Subphylum Rhabditophora

Unplaced groups

Priapulus caudatus. Order Priapulimorphida

Several stem group priapulid genera are not classified within any established orders. The orders listed below are solely crown priapulids.

Phylum Rotifera

[edit]
Habrotrocha rosa. Order Philodinida

The group Acanthocephala is traditionally treated as a separate phylum from Rotifera. However, it was found that Acanthocephala are phylogenetically contained within the rotifers, and this list reflects these findings.

Superclass Eurotatoria

Clade Acanthocephala

Acutuncus antarcticus. Order Parachela

The class Mesotardigrada contains one species, Thermozodium esakii, which has not been found since its reported discovery in 1937, and its existence is dubious. It is contained within the order Thermozodia.

Neochildia fusca. Order Acoela

The subphylum Xenoturbellida does not contain any classes or orders. It's only family is Xenoturbellidae which contains one genus, Xenoturbella.

The class Nemertodermatida does not contain any orders, but does contain two families; Ascopariidae and Nemertodermatidae.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ This order traditionally also includes the families Maldanidae and Arenicolidae, but is now believed to only contain Echiura and family Capitellidae. Maldanidae and Arenicolidae have been moved to the clade Maldanomorpha
  2. ^ This family is traditionally placed in the order Sabellida, but is now considered to be closest to Cirratuliformia and as such is now unplaced
  3. ^ May be a suborder of Cryptostomata
  4. ^ Sometimes treated as a class
