The Cycloneuralia is a monophyletic group comprised of five phyla: Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Priapula, Kinorhyncha, and Loricifera. Apomorphies include an anterior mouth, a cylindrical pharynx, and a collar-shaped, peripharyngeal brain. Some studies show the tardigrades as an ingroup of the ecdysozoans, while most suggest that scalidophorans and nematoids are separate clades in various positions relative to the arhropods, although the priapulans are basal in a number of trees. The Nematoidea is possibly an ingroup of the Scalidophora.
