About Saccoglossus kowalevskii

Hemichordata is a phylum of marine deuterostome animals, generally considered the sister group of the echinoderms. The common name is "Acron worm". They appear in the Lower or Middle Cambrian and include two main classes: Enteropneusta, and Pterobranchia. A third class, Planctosphaeroidea, is known only from the larva of a single species, Planctosphaera pelagica. The extinct class Graptolithina is closely related to the pterobranchs.
