Description:

Scalidophora is an ecdysozoan clade accommodating the phyla Kinorhyncha, Loricifera and Priapulida. Superficially, they might appear very different - the microscopic kinorhynchs with their segmented bodies, the even smaller loriciferans with their trunk covered by a lorica-like body armour, and the unsegmented, vermiform priapulids - but they all share the presence of a head composed of a mouth cone and an eversible introvert with cuticular appendages, the so-called scalids.
