The lophophorates are animals united by a presence of a Brachiopoda
The relationships of the lophophorate phyla has been largely uncertain, even whether they were protostomes or deuterostomes. Based on genetic studies, they are now usually considered to belong among the Lophotrochozoa, together with phyla such as the molluscs and annelids. Within that group, the lophophorates are likely paraphyletic.
