Answer: Cephalochordates include Amphioxus as they are marine invertebrate chordates that are more prevalent in warm coastal waters than in temperate ones.

Explanation:

  • Any of specific members of the invertebrate subphylum Cephalochordata of the phylum Chordata are referred to as amphioxuses, plural amphioxi, or amphioxuses.
  • Amphioxi are tiny marine creatures that are more frequently found in the warm oceans along coastlines than in the colder oceans.
  • Amphioxus and Balanoglossus are both classified under the phylum Protochordata in the outdated system.
  • The revised classification scheme, however, places Balanoglossus in the phylum Hemichordata and Amphioxus in the sub-phylum Cephalochordata of the phylum Chordata.
  • These tiny, eel-like creatures are widespread in shallow sandy areas where they spend a large portion of their life buried in sand. There are as many as 5,000 lancelets per square meter of sand in some areas.
