From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Over 30 fossil species according to Fossilwork database where genus is placed in Mollusca (type Hyolithes acutus) [details]

From other sources
Editor's comment According to the Neave (Nomenclator Zoologicus) erected for a mollusk, but at least one species shows similarities with annelid worms according to Bandel. Nevertheless, in my serpulid experience not very likely to be an annelid. [details]
