Genus of annelids

Platynereis Platynereis dumerilii Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Annelida Clade: Pleistoannelida Subclass: Errantia Order: Phyllodocida Family: Nereididae Subfamily: Nereidinae Genus: Platynereis Kinberg, 1865

***Platynereis*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [marine](/source/Marine_biology) [annelid](/source/Annelid) worms that belongs to the Nereididae, a family of errant polychaete worms.[1][2]

The species *[Platynereis dumerilii](/source/Platynereis_dumerilii)* is used in development biology to study development (embryogenesis), in particular because their embryos are largely transparent, and thus easy to follow.[3] Apical organs such as this one are photosensitive which is a key component in their formation. They also have a common ancestor with cnidarians and bilaterians.[4]
