Ambulacraria

Chordata, and the few extinct species belonging to the Vetulicolia
.

The two living clades with representative organisms are:

(These together sometimes are called the lower deuterostomes.[3])

Whether the

metazoans,[4][5][6] and other authors asserting that the best choices of phylogenetic methods support the position of Xenacoelomorpha as the sister group to Ambulacraria.[7][8]

Fossil taxa that may lie on the stem lineage:

Fossil ambulacrarians

Genera include:

Ontogeny

As for many animals, the

gastrula. The gastrula then develops into a dipleurula larva form in the Asteroidea, Holothuroidea, Crinoidea, and Hemichordata, and into a pluteus larva form in the Echinoidea and Ophiuroidea.[3][10]
This, in its turn, is developed in various different kinds of larvae for different taxa of ambulacrarians.

It has been suggested that the adult form of the

last common ancestor of the ambulacrarians was anatomically similar to the dipleurula larva; this hypothetic ancestor sometimes also is called dipleurula.[11]
