caecilian       diplocaulus        bird

marsupial       amphiuma           hagfish

OK, my answer was getting long. If you want to see my other tries, look at the edit history. Here goes another shot!

nocturnal animals - marsupial, tarsier, aye-aye. chordates - hagfish, lamprey, ascidian. amphibians - diplocaulus, amphiuma, caecilian. vertebrates - birds, fish, mammals.

Now technically my second and fourth classes could switch some, since (

Despite not having a backbone, hagfish are considered vertebrates. Lampreys are vertebrates as well, if I remember correctly.

)

  • $\begingroup$ close, chordates, and nocturnal animals are correct. The other groups have the wrong names and maybe animals. Hint: you were right before the edit $\endgroup$

I think it’s:

tarsier, aye-aye, hagfish, lamprey: these are common name species of animals

Then:

Ascidian, caecilian, diplocaulus, amphiuma: these are Latin classifications of animals

And finally:

Bird, marsupial, fish, mammals: these are common names of animal classes

An attempt, most likely some wrong:

  1. Caecilians, diplocaulus and amphiuma are all groups of amphibians

  2. Ascidian, hagfish, lamprey are all sea creatures (two fish and a sea squirt)

  3. Aye-aye and tarsier are both lemurs, and both mammals

  4. I would have said bird, mammal, fish here, as these are the major divisions, however the two animals in point three are not marsupials, so that is the only word left
