The Vinctiplicata is a clade of scalidophoran uniting the loricifera and the priapulida, and representing the sister group to the kinorhyncha. Its monophyly is supported on morphological grounds, although recent molecular studies indicate that the loricifera may be more closely related to the Nematomorpha. Scalidophora is a group of marine pseudocoelomate invertebrates, consisting of the three phyla Kinorhyncha, Priapulida, and Loricifera. The members of the group share a number of characteristics, including introvert larvae and moulting of the cuticle (ecdysis). Their closest relatives are thought to be the Panarthropoda, Nematoda and Nematomorpha; they are thus placed in the group Ecdysozoa.
