准确识别物种是了解其生态作用和进化历史的关键。它在生物多样性编目中也是必不可少的，用于比较栖息地类型，对气候变化的反应，有效的管理实践等等。分类学专业知识的缺乏正在增加，因此，能够胜任地识别物种的能力也在增加，对于包括轮虫在内的小型分类群来说尤其如此。为了改善这种情况，我们整理了文献中所有有效的无柄Gnesiotrocha（轮虫门）目前分配到两个订单和四个家庭的物种的形态特征的信息。本文综述了胶囊菌目（Collothecaceae）包括Atrochidae（3 spp.）和胶囊螨科（Collothecidae）50种（spp.）和花螺目（Flosculariaceae），包括芋螺科（Conochilidae）7种;花螺科（Flosculariidae）71种。基于这些信息，我们提供了二分检索表的家庭，单种Flosculariidae，种Atrochidae，Conochilidae，和Limnias。这些检索表将帮助研究人员确定这些科中的物种，从而更好地了解淡水生物多样性和生态进化过程。
Accurate identification of species is key to understanding their ecological roles and evolutionary history. It is also essential in cataloging biodiversity for comparisons among habitat types, responses to climate change, effective management practices, and more. The paucity of taxonomic expertise is increasing and with it the ability to competently identify species, this is particularly true for small taxa including rotifers. In an effort to improve this situation, we collated information on morphological characters from the literature on all valid species of sessile Gnesiotrocha (phylum Rotifera) currently assigned to two orders and four families. We review Order Collothecaceae, which comprises families Atrochidae (3 spp.) and Collothecidae (50 spp.) and Order Flosculariaceae, which includes families Conochilidae (7 spp.) and Flosculariidae (71 species). Based on that information, we provide dichotomous keys to the Families, monospecific species in Flosculariidae, and species of Atrochidae, Conochilidae, and Limnias. These keys will aid researchers to identify species in these families and lead to a better understanding of freshwater biodiversity and eco-evolutionary processes.
