Abstract: Abstract Despite detailed morphological studies1,2,3,4, the phylogenetic relationships of Xenoturbella bocki Westblad 1949 have remained unclear. The marine, worm-like X. bocki was first described as an acoel flatworm5. Later it was proposed to be a deuterostome1, and most recently as the sister taxon of the Bilateria6. Here we present DNA sequence data that place X. bocki within the protostome clade Eutrochozoa.
