Cladhexea is a recently created placozoan order comprising yet-undescribed species. Named in 2022, it is believed to be sister to Hoilungea, and corresponds to Clade VI of the literature.[1]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name comes from Ancient Greek kládos (clade) and hexa (six), referring to its specimens previously being assigned to placozoan Clade VI in literature.
