Dear colleagues,
Michel Bhaud made an excellent review of this issue. Ehlers (1913) stated
some affinites of Rostraria with Amphinomids but it was Hannerz (1956) who
made the formal statement linking Rostraria with Amphinomidae and
Euphrosinidae. This peculiar larvae led Mileikovsky to use a separate order
for these two families, far away from Eunicidae and allies.
