| | Introduction to the Lophotrochozoa |
 | | We have placed the Lophophorata in the Lophotrochozoa as the most popular of the current choices in the literature, but there are studies that suggest they may belong with the deuterostomes, or may even be paraphyletic. | | | For now, we prefer this grouping based on the available evidence, but as data continues to accumulate our picture of the relationships may change. | | | These animals were once included in the Pseudocoelomata, because they do not have a distinct internal body cavity like the Trochozoa, but this grouping does not hold together in modern studies. |

| | The evolutionary relationships of these forms are very unclear - the group has even been considered among the deuterostomes, and may be paraphyletic. | | | They are most likely related to the Trochozoa, however, and the two are often grouped as the Lophotrochozoa. | | | There are various pseudocoelomate protostomes that are hard to classify because of their small size and reduced structure. |

| | Introduction To Trochophore Concepts |
| | These authors have pointed out the wide diversity of polychaete larval forms and suggested that the trochophore (sensu Hatschek and Nielsen) is a derived larval type. | | | Depending on its formulation, the Trochozoa may or may not be a more inclusive group that encompasses a group often termed the Spiralia. | | | This study is made with particular reference to polychaete annelids. |

| | Introduction to the Pogonophora |
| | The forward part of the body, or prosoma, is unsegmented. | | | Because of the segmented opisthosoma, and because pogonophoran larvae have been found to look very much like annelid larvae, pogonophorans are now considered to be close relatives of the annelids, and are classified with them in a larger group, the Trochozoa. | | | How do pogonophorans feed with no mouth or gut? |

| | Lophotrochozoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The flatworms and their allies form a clade, called the Platyzoa, which is closely related to the Lophotrochozoa and sometimes included within it. | | | Previously these were treated together as the Trochozoa, together with the arthropods, which do not produce trochophore larvae but were considered close relatives of the annelids because they are both segmented. | | | However, they show a number of important differences, and the arthropods are now placed separately among the Ecdysozoa. |

| | Originally, the arthropods were also considered to belong here as close relatives of the annelids, though no trochophores occur within the group. | | | The lophophorates are often considered close relatives of the Trochozoa, and possibly the rotifers and their allies as well. | | | The Trochozoa are a collection of several phyla of animals, including most notably the mollusks and annelids, as well as the smaller phyla Nemertea and Sipuncula. |

| | Trochozoa are all protostomes (their mouth develops before their anus while a young embryo) and they include Mollusca (molluscs such as squid) and Annelida (segmented worms such as earthworms). | | | Lophophores all have hollow tentacles that are used to gather food (as are the cilia in the corona in rotifera) and they include organisms such as: mosses (bryozoa) and clam-like animals (brachiopoda). | | | Although squid and earthworms seem very different as adults, they have many similarities when in the embryonic stage. |

| | This finding refutes the homology between the pilidium and the so-called larval ectoderm previously reported from some palaeonemertean larvae — the main support for idea that pilidial development is ancestral for the phylum and instead suggests that pilidium is an elaboration on the trochophore groundplan, uniquely derived within nemerteans. | | | Additionally, the inferred ancestral presence of a trochophore in nemerteans fills the gap in the distribution of trochophore larvae among the Trochozoa and allows a meaningful comparison between larval development of nemerteans and other trochozoans. | | | All trochozoan phyla, except nemerteans, have been shown to possess a trochophore larva characterized by the prototroch, a pre-oral belt of specialized ciliated cells derived from the specific founder cells called the trochoblasts. |

| | At least one group of the flatworms may still be basal within the bilaterians, but the implications this position may have for the evolution of the lower metazoans are presently unclear. | | | Although it is widely accepted that the sponges are basal within the animals, broadly followed by the ctenophores and cnidarians, the relationships of the bilaterians remain highly controversial. | | | Molecular systematics places the bilaterians into three groups: the Deuterostomia (including, among others, echinoderms and chordates); the Ecdysozoa (principally arthropods and nematodes), and the Trochozoa (annelids, mollusks, most flatworms, and several other small groups, including the brachiopods). |

| | This is first of all the generic name Homo: as it is the first in the "Systema Naturae", the hierarchical name Homo/g1 must belong to the animal kingdom (which has quite discussional boundaries) or to the taxon uniting all living organisms. | | | The second in its difficultness is the name Scarabaeus: hierarchical name Scarabaeus/g1 must belong to the biggest taxon of animals which does not include Chordata - it can be Proterostomia or Trochozoa. | | | In these cases taxa of low ranks must have hierarchical names with so big and so difficult to determine numbers, that their usage becomes inconvenient. |
