 Comments
       
  Comment: Brusca & Brusca (2002) do not recognize class rank within the Loricifera. Some authors treat the Loricifera (as well as the Priapul[id]a, Kinorhyncha, and Nematomorpha) as classes within a Phylum Cephalorhyncha. For the moment ITIS retains these groups as separate phyla, though there seems to be much evidence supporting their close relationship to each other
