[English summary:]
The combination of the „orthotaxonomic" and „parataxonomic" systems of the Eunicida by Kozur 1970 removes the double taxonomy of fossil Eunicida and is of great importance for the simplification of the taxonomic system of fossil Eunicida. The emendation of the genus Delosites by Zawidza 1971 is a consequent application of the new taxonomic system. This emendation requires also an emendation of the genus Lysaretides.
Scolecodonts have in the Triassic only a subordinate stratigraphic signification. Their paleoecological signification is greater than the stratigraphic one. Eunicida are only frequent in shallow water sediments, above all in near shore deposits. The Triassic scolecodonts have a very great importance for the phylogeny of fossil Eunicida, because the Triassic scolecodonts enclose almost all connecting links between the rich Paleozoic and recent Eunicida. Some examples for the phylogenetic signification of Triassic scolecodonts are discussed. The Triassic scolecodonts are also important for the knowledge of the relationships between the recent groups of Eunicida.
In the supplementary part, the paper of Jansonius & Craig 1970 is discussed and the synoymic list of fossil Eunicida (Kozur 1970) is completed. 2 new genera and 6 new species of Eunicida and Phyllodocida are described.
