 Comments
       
  Comment: Recent genetic analyses (e.g., Schiffer et al., 2018) indicate that orthonectids may in fact be annelids, but more work is needed to determine their placement within that group. Pending such determinations, ITIS is placing the group per Brusca et al. (2016), within superphylum Spiralia
