The class Myzostomida is a very primitive one, comprising parasites of
Echinodermata. They are disc-shaped, without any external segmentation.
These forms have been collected from fenther stars at Bombay, but have
not been identified.
The class Archiannelida has not been recorded from Maharashtra, while
the Echiurida has only one representative, recorded from Bombay. It is
unsegmented, without parapodia, but has a pair of setae near the anterior
end, and a large proboscis.
