| Abstract: | A key to the classes, orders, families, and subfamilies of Acanthocephala based on the Meyer-Van Cleave system as presented by Amin (1985) is provided. A new class (Polyacanthocephala) and a new order (Polyacanthorhynchida) are erected to accommodate members of the monogeneric family Polyacanthorhynchidae Golvan, 1956. |
