The phylogeny, classification and zoogeography of the class Priapulida. II. Revision of the family Priapulidae and zoogeography of priapulids
A.V. Adrianov & V.V. Malakhov
Abstract. Modified diagnoses of species of the macrobenthic family Priapulidae, ecological notes on all species, and a key to adult representatives of the family are given. Geographical distribution of the extant priapulids and the problem of bipolarity within priapulids are discussed in detail. Maps of the distribution are given for all extant species.
