Enoplida is an order of nematodes. It is one of two orders in Enoplia, which is one of two subclasses in Class Enoplea. [1] [2]

These nematodes are mostly free-living marine animals. [3] Most feed on diatoms and other algaes. [1]

Subdivisions

Upon phylogenetic analysis in 2010, the order was divided into five clades. Clades and selected families include: [3]

The World Register of Marine Species shows the following suborders within Enoplida: [4]
