Abstract: Abstract Steiner and Salvini-Plawen claim that Acaenoplax cannot be a mollusc because it would sit uneasily within the caudofoveates, solenogastres or polyplacophorans; however, the fossil record frequently reveals character combinations that have not survived to Recent times1. Although Acaenoplax displays a mosaic of molluscan characters that does not accord with any single modern group, this does not necessarily eliminate it from the phylum as a whole.
