[Annelida] Higher Level Classification of All Living Organisms

It seems they've made a number of errors in the Table in the pdf as published.  There's an errata published in the comments.

http://www.plosone.org/annotation/listThread.action?root=86195



The weird structure and names of the Clitellates goes, and what remains is more recognisable to Annelid workers.



It's apparently correct in the Excel version of the table which is S1 Appendix.  However I can't understand how errors known about on 18 March, remained in the published PDF version of the end April launch



Here's the annelid erratum



8. In Animalia: Annelida, Suborder Metagynaphora should be spelled Metagynophora and its Order Opistophophora should be spelled Opistophora. Orders Apododrilida, Capilloventrida, and Crassiclitellata should be deleted. Order Branchiobdellida should be moved within Clitellata, Subclass N.N.



They did use WoRMS Polychaeta  & Annelid as a source, together with a couple of Greg's papers, and a paper of Goto's placing Echiura in Annelids.  Also the Struck et al  2007, 2011,

Rousset 2007 papers.  Linking the relevant papers to the relevant table entries would have been a good idea . I'd have tried to have something like that.



They pretty much follow what is current in WoRMS  for traditional Polychaeta.   A work in progress.

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.

Hi,

Higher Level Classification of All Living Organisms.
Here's what the CoL guys came up with.
