| | Hyperotreti |
 | | There are several other characteristics by which hagfishes differ from all other vertebrates, but these are either absences (lack of extrinsic eye muscles, lack of eye lens, lack of cardiac innervation, lack of radial muscles, etc.) or conditions which recalls that in cephalochordates or tunicates (accessory venous hearts, disseminate pancreas, etc.). | | | Among craniates, hagfishes are unique in many respects, and this has long been regarded as a consequence of degeneracy due to presumed parasitic habits. | | | There is now a broad consensus over the idea that most of these unique anatomical and physiological features of hagfishes are in fact primitive and approach the condition of the common ancestor to all craniates. |
