From editor or global species database
Classification Erected for Questa Hartman, 1966, which is a genus of superficially oligochaete-like polychaetes with diagnostic aberrant internal features. Now asserted on molecular and other grounds to belong as a sub-group in Orbiniidae. Blake (2021: 109) newly recognised Questidae should be a subfamily in Orbiniidae. Questa is the only valid genus as Novaquesta Hobson, 1970 is regarded as a synonym of Questa [details]
