- Kinorhyncha is considered either a class within the phylum Aschelminthes or a separate phylum with close relationships to aschelminth worms.
- Phylum Kinorhyncha is divided into two orders, Cyclorhagida and Homalorhagida, with 21 genera and over 200 species, some of which have only been described...
- The Kinorhyncha are a small group of tiny, rather spiny, marine worms that can be found in ocean sediments all around the world.
- Marine. Sexes separate. Kinorhyncha. Greek: kinema = motion, rynchos = snout. About 100 species have so far been described, all less than 1 mm long.
- The entire introvert can be retracted into the neck or the first trunk segment, hence the name Kinorhyncha, meaning "movable nose".
- The grazing pressure seems to be high enough to stimulate microbial activity. The role of kinorhyncha in nutrient regeneration is complex.
- The phylum Kinorhyncha, formerly known as Echinodera or Echinoderida, were recognized in 1851. ... Diagnostic Features of Phylum Kinorhyncha
