ausgesuchte … aus dem Verwandtschaftskreis
selection among/from the relatives


Explanation:
Since there is no common equivalent in English for "Verwandtschaftskreis" I would paraphrase:

"… its signifance for Echiura and other taxa selected among/from the relatives of Annelida/the annelids"

See use of "relatives" here:

Alternatively, using a noun: "… significance for Echiura and a selection of other taxa among the relatives of the annelids"
