Parergodrilidae

Parergodrilidae is an enigmatic family of polychaetes with only two genera, one living on the coast, the other terrestrial.

Parergodrilidae
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Annelida
Class: Polychaeta
Order: Orbiniida (?)

They share much in common with the clitellates, but molecular data place them with Questa and Orbiniidae.[1]
