Classification The early history of the classification of Sipuncula within Animalia is summarized by Saiz-Salinas (2018). Their placement has varied, including a period in the Gephyrea, an amalgamation of unrelated groups introduced by Quatrefages. Ranking as an independent phylum was only gradually adopted from the 1900s. Sipuncula are currently downranked to an order within Annelida after molecular evidence over a number of years that Sipuncula are a group within Annelida (summarized in Schultze et al, 2019, Handbook of Zoology), with the following families. Family Antillesomatidae Kawauchi, Sharma & Giribet, 2012
Family Aspidosiphonidae Baird, 1868
Family Golfingiidae Stephen & Edmonds, 1972
Family Phascolosomatidae Stephen & Edmonds, 1972
Family Siphonosomatidae Kawauchi, Sharma & Giribet, 2012
Family Sipunculidae Rafinesque, 1814
Schultze et al (2019) recognized a classification structure within Sipuncula as six families without further division (no higher ranks than family), but are undecided on how to include the group within phylum Annelida, evidently rejecting a grouping with Amphinomidae, but outside of Polychaeta. When Sipuncula was ranked as an independent phylum the higher groupings of valid families was excessively partitioned as follows with two classes and three orders for just six families:
Class Phascolosomatidea
Order Aspidosiphonida [superfluous order for 1 valid familly]
Family Aspidosiphonidae Baird, 1868
Order Phascolosomatida
Family Antillesomatidae Kawauchi, Sharma & Giribet, 2012
Family Phascolosomatidae Stephen & Edmonds, 1972
Class Sipunculidea [superfluous class for 1 valid order]
Order Golfingiida
Family Golfingiidae Stephen & Edmonds, 1972
Family Siphonosomatidae Kawauchi, Sharma & Giribet, 2012
Family Sipunculidae Rafinesque, 1814
