Taxonomy This name has been in usage in the second half of the XXth century. Runnegar & Pojeta (1974) ranked it as Subphylum containing only the class Polyplacophora, along with Aculifera Hatscheck 1891 containing only the class Aplacophora, and with the subphylum Conchifera Gegenbaur 1878, containing the Monoplacophora and the other classes derived from it. Currently (as of 2020) the Polyplacophora are considered part of the Aculifera. [details]
