 Comments
       
  Comment: It appears that 'Priapulida' is an older spelling than 'Priapula.' There is apparently disagreement on which spelling is 'correct' in the literature, although this is an unregulated rank with regard to spelling and 'priority.' ITIS is currently following Ruggiero et al. (2015) and Sørensen in Brusca et al. (2016) in using Priapula for the group name  
    Sørensen in Brusca et al. (2016) notes that 'classes and orders are usually not recognized within the Priapula; the phylum is divided into three extant families'
