Platytrochozoa

Platytrochozoa
Scientific classification
Kingdom:Animalia
(unranked):Spiralia
Clade:Platytrochozoa
Struck et al. 2014
clade
  • Rhoupozoa
  • Lophotrochozoa
  • Mesozoa

The Platytrochozoa are proposed basal clade of spiralian animals as sister group of the Gnathifera. The Platytrochozoa were divided into the Rouphozoa and the Lophotrochozoa.[1] A more recent study suggests that the mesozoans also belong to this group of animals, as sister of the Rouphozoa.[2]
