Taxonomy

The order Nemertodermatida contains two families with 6 genera. [2] The high level of cryptic diversity in this meiofauna group however implies that the number of nemertodermatid taxa may be underestimated. [3]

Ascopariidae

The family Ascopariidae Sterrer, 1998 [4] [5] contains two genera. [2]

There are 3 species in the family Ascopariidae. [2]
