  Caudofoveata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caudofoveata is a small class of the phylum mollusca, also known as Chaetodermomorpha.
The class is often combined with Solenogastres and termed Aplacophora.
Caudofoveata are small (1-30 mm), primitive deep sea molluscs.

The progenitor of molluscs might have been a vermiform animal, which developed a shell starting from sparse scales on its back, similar to those of the present Caudofoveata and Solenogastres.
Molluscs have considerable ecological plasticity, and this has probably helped their diffusion and diversification, from sea-bed dwellers to forms adapted to all marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments.
There are about 140.000 living molluscan species, distributed among 8 classes very different in aspect and anatomy, namely the Caudofoveata, the Solenogastres, the Polyplacophora, the Monoplacophora, the Scaphopods, the Bivalvia, the Cephalopoda and the Gasteropoda.

Mollusks occur in most habitats from the deep sea to high mountains.
Living mollusks are usually grouped into eight classes: Gastropoda (see gastropod), Bivalvia or Pelecypoda (see bivalve), Cephalopoda (see cephalopod), Scaphopoda (tusk shells), Aplacophora (Solenogasters), Caudofoveata (sometimes included in the Aplacophora order), Polyplacophora (chitons), and Monoplacophora.
Each class includes an ecologically and structurally immense variety of forms: the shell-less Caudofoveata; the narrow-footed gliders...
