Polyplacotomia is a class of placozoans, to this date only comprising Polyplacotoma mediterranea. It was established in 2022.[1] Their morphology is strikingly different from other placozoans in Uniplacotomia, exhibiting a highly ramified, branching structure with multiple amoeboid projections. It differs from Uniplacotomia by 76 uniquely present and 600 absent genes.[1][2]
