The Solenogastres (less often referred to as Neomeniomorpha), commonly known as solenogasters, are a class of small, worm-like, shell-less molluscs (Aplacophora), the other class being the Caudofoveata (Chaetodermomorpha).[1]
Some recent literature and recent molecular evidence,[when?] indicates that the Aplacophora may be polyphyletic, and therefore some taxonomists may divide Solenogastres and Caudofoveata into separate classes.[2]
