Nemertodermatida is a class of Acoelomorpha, comprising 18 species of millimetre-sized turbellariform, mostly interstitial worms.[1]
Taxonomy
The order Nemertodermatida contains two families with 6 genera.[2] The high level of cryptic diversity in this meiofauna group however implies that the number of nemertodermatid taxa may be underestimated.[3]
Ascopariidae
The family Ascopariidae Sterrer, 1998[4][5] contains two genera.[2]
- Ascoparia Sterrer, 1998
- Flagellophora Faubel & Dorjes, 1978
There are 3 species in the family Ascopariidae.[2]

| Ascoparia secunda Sterrer, 1998 | |||
| Flagellophora apelti Faubel & Dorjes, 1978 |
Nemertodermatidae
The family Nemertodermatidae Steinböck, 1930 contains four genera.[2]
