The PEDIGREE of
Branch Bilateria
(older schemes placed Pseudocoelomata (Rotifera etc.) as a separate clade under Bilateria; some phyla may clade together as Acoelomata Grade; Orthonectida & Rhombozoa are called Mesozoa collectively, and with Placozoa, called Agnotozoa, but these clades are probably not monophyletic; in fact Rhombozoa may clade with Nematoda)
