Xenoturbellids and Allies
Xenacoelomorpha
Xenacoelomorpha is a basal bilaterian clade of small and very simple animals, grouping the xenoturbellids with the acoelomorphs. It was suggested by morphological synapomorphies, and confirmed by phylogenomic analyses of molecular data. Xenacoelomorphs emerged with the Nephrozoa as sister clade.
