The results are largely compatible with earlier molecular studies when supported clades are considered, and adjusting for the denser taxonomic sampling of this study. The position of the Proseriata is not compatible with the taxon Seriata, which is rejected. The Rhabdocoela excluding the Fecampiida and the Neodermata is monophyletic. The phylogenetic position of the Neodermata cannot be determined, but its placement is not compatible with the proposed taxa Revertospermata and Mediofusata Kornakova \& Joffe, 1999, which are rejected. The Urastomidae and the Genostomatidae in all analyses group with the Fecampiida, and it is our recommendation that these taxa be included in the Fecampiida. The amended Fecampiida always group separately from the Prolecithophora sensu stricto, the Rhabdocoela, and the Neodermata. Our analyses reveal the existence of a strongly supported clade consisting of Prolecithophora~+~Tricladida~+~the amended Fecampiida, and we propose the name Adiaphanida for this clade. Tentatively the sister group of the Prolecithophora is a clade consisting of the Tricladida~+~amended Fecampiida.}, issn = {1463-6409}, doi = {10.1046/j.1463-6409.2002.00082.x}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1046/j.1463-6409.2002.00082.x}, author = {Noren, Michael and Jondelius, Ulf} } @article {5299, title = {Molecular systematics of the Acoela (Platyhelminthes) and its concordance with morphology.}, journal = {Molecular Phylogeny and Evolution}, volume = {24}, year = {2002}, month = {2002}, pages = {333 - 342}, keywords = {Myopea sp., Paraphanostoma}, author = {Hooge,MD and Haye,P and Tyler,S and Litvaitis,MK and Kornfield,I} } @article {5258, title = {New model for the formation and function of sagittocysts: Symsagittifera corsicae n. sp.
