Eubilateria Ax, 1987

Nephrozoa is a proposed major clade of bilaterian animals. Under this hypothesis, Xenacoelomorpha forms the earliest diverging branch of Bilateria, with all other bilaterians placed in Nephrozoa. It contrasts with the Xenambulacraria hypothesis, which instead posits that Xenacoelomorpha is most closely related to Ambulacraria (usually placed as deuterostomes). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Which hypothesis is correct has been debated, and as of 2024 the issue is unresolved. [7] [8]
