The Trochozoa are a proposed Lophotrochozoa clade that is a sister clade of Bryozoa and Platyzoa. The clade would include animals in five phyla: the Nemertea, the Annelida, the Mollusca, and the two Brachiozoan phyla, Brachiopoda and Phoronida. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Both annelids [8] and molluscs [9] have been suggested as the sister group of Brachiozoa. It has also been proposed that nemerteans are actually a clade of annelids. [10]
