Classification In recent molecular studies it is clear that several groups formerly placed outside Annelida phylum actually belong in annelids. One of these are the Orthonectida, vermiform endoparasites of various marine animals that have been linked in the Mesozoa. Schiffer et al (2018) found that the orthonectid genus Intoshia is a member of the Annelida, but perhaps lies outside of the Pleistoannelida. In WoRMS orthonectids are currently a stand-alone phylum. [details]Editor's comment Lamarck (1802), in his annual major speech at the Paris museum, addressed the assembled citoyens of the French Republic to introduce and define “Annelides” (no e accent initially) as the French name of an additional new main “classe” of the animal kingdom, slotting between molluscs and crustaceans and separate from another “vers” group. The original publication could not be found online, but the source given is to a reprint version in 1906 [details]
