Pedigree: Branch Bilateria

The PEDIGREE of

Branch Bilateria

(older schemes placed Pseudocoelomata (Rotifera etc.) as a separate clade under Bilateria; aka Triploblasts; 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)

"Child(ren)": Infrakingdom (Grade) of Coelomates ; Phylum Orthonectida ; Phylum Xenacoelomorpha (gutless Acoels) ; prob. Clade Nephrozoa ; poss. Phylum Rhombozoa (Lozenge animals) ; Subgrade of Protostomia

poss. "Partner(s)": Superphylum Lophotrochozoa ; Infrakingdom (Grade) of Coelomates
