Traditional Ecdysozoan phylogeny. This phylogeny is almost certainly incorrect, in view of Scalidophora as most likely equivalent to stem Ecdysozoa (Dzik & Krumbiegel 1989,Budd 2001, Conway Morris & Peel 2010), and intermediate forms like Facivermis (Liu et al 2006) and Mureropodia (Vintaned Gamez et al 2011). bridging the worm-panarthropod divide, but has been left unrevised for now.
