Abstract

This paper presents a review of the vestimentiferan system and provides amended diagnoses for all the taxons. The class of vestimentiferans comprises two orders. Lamellibrachiida and Tevniida. The family Alaysiidae is considered to be a group of uncertain systematic position. A map of the geographical distribution of the vestimentiferans is presented.
