Chitons (Polyplacophora) in Mozambique include: Ischnochitonidae. Dwarf chiton Ischnochiton oniscus (Cape Columbine to Mozambique) [2] [9] Chitonidae.
Based on this and co-occurring fossils, one plausible hypothesis for the origin of polyplacophora has that they formed when an aberrant monoplacophoran was born with multiple centres of calcification, rather than the usual one.
In contrast to many other mollusc classes, aplacophorans have no shell, and are instead covered by aragonitic sclerites (calcareous spicules), which can be solid or hollow.. These spicules can be arranged perpendicular to one another within the cuticle to form a skeleton, stick up to form a palisade, or can lie flat against the cutic
The genus Chiton has been split into several subgenera as follows: [2]. Subgenus Chiton (Chiton) Linnaeus, 1758. Chiton (Chiton) albolineatus Broderip & Sowerby, 1829; Chiton (Chiton) articulatus Sowerby in Broderip & Sowerby, 1832

Aplacophora / æ p l ə ˈ k ɒ f ər ə / is a possibly paraphyletic taxon. This is a class of small, deep-water, exclusively benthic, marine molluscs found in all oceans of the world. [1]
Aculifera (older name: Amphineura) is a proposed clade of molluscs incorporating those groups that have no conch or shell, that is, the Polyplacophora, Caudofoveata (=Chaetodermomorpha) and Solenogastres (=Neomeniomorpha). [1] It is sister to the Conchifera.
