One of the old animal classification names. Nematoda (roundworms, etc.), Nematodes (wireworms, etc.), and Acanthocephala (truncatulas) are grouped together as Circular Animals because they share the same characteristic of a circular cross section of their bodies. They were also once treated as a phylum called Pelvic Fleas together with Rotifers (rotifers), Gastrotrichum (bulls, etc.), and Kinorhynchus (anthocephalus, etc.), but the relationship between them is now questionable, and they are now considered independent phyla, and the names Circular Animals and Pelvic Fleas are no longer used.

古い動物分類名の一つ。線虫類(回虫など)、類線形虫類(ハリガネムシなど)、鉤頭虫類(こうとうちゅうるい)は、体の横断面が円形などの特徴を共用するので円形動物としてまとめられた。また、輪虫類(ワムシ類)、腹毛類(イタチムシなど)、動吻(どうふん)類(キョクヒチュウなど)とともに袋形(たいけい)動物門として扱われたこともあるが、それぞれの類縁関係が疑わしく、現在これらは独立の門とし、円形動物、袋形動物の名称は使われない。 [町田昌昭] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
