Neoophora

From Ancient Greek νέος (néos, “new”) + ᾠόν (ōión, “egg”) + -φόρος (-phóros, “bearing”), in reference to their ectolecithal eggs.

Neoophora

1. (archaic) A taxonomic infraclass within the phylum Platyhelminthes – certain flatworms.

• Apparently paraphyletic, because members of order Lecithoepitheliata are more closely related to than they are to other members of Neoophora. The remaining members of Neoophora would apparently be monophyletic and would be members of clade Euneoophora in subclass Trepaxonemata.

• (order): Eukaryota – superkingdom; Animalia – kingdom; Bilateria – subkingdom; Protostomia – infrakingdom; Spiralia – superphylum; Platyhelminthes – phylum; Rhabditophora – subphylum

• (class): Eulecithophora (Adiaphanida, Rhabdocoela – infraclasses in Eulecithophora); Neodermata (Cestoda), Monogenea, Trematoda – infraclasses in Neodermata) – subclasses
