Chitons are primitive marine molluscs in the class Polyplacophora (formerly the class Amphineura). There are 900 to 1,000 living species of chitons. Their size ranges from 0.5 to 30 cm in length; most are quite small. All the living species are in the subclass Neoloricata, and so may be called 'loricates'. Popular names are sea cradles or coat-of-mail shells.
The Placozoa are an animal phylum, a primitive form of invertebrate. They are the simplest in structure of all metazoa. The Placozoa is usually considered to have only one species, Trichoplax adhaerens, but there is enough genetic diversity that it is possible that there are multiple, morphologically similar species. Although they were first discovered in 1883, a common name does not exist for the taxon.
