Well, this effort by the CoL guys is going to start quite a few
conversations. I barely got past the plants, but note the Phylum Mollusca:

Putting the chaetoderms and solenogastres into separate classes seems a bit
much. The taxon Aplacophora is not used.


Phylum Mollusca

Class Caudofoveata

Order Chaetodermatida

Class Solenogastres

Superorder Aplotegmentaria

Order Cavibelonia

Order Sterrofustia

Superorder Pachytegmentaria

Order Neomeniamorpha

Order Pholidoskepia



In contrast the Annelida seems overly simplified.
