Figure 1. Echinoderm phylogeny showing class relationships, the Asterozoa (Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea), Echinozoa (Echinoidea, Holothuroidea), and basal Crinozoa and indicative relationship with the Hemichordata and Cephalochordata. Illustrations show adults and larvae. The Holothuroidea, Asteroidea, and Hemichordata have the ancestral-type feeding dipleurula larvae while the Echinoidea and Ophiuroidea have independently evolved the feeding pluteus larval form. The Crinoidea lack a feeding larva. Images provided: crinoid adult, A. Hoggett; crinoid larva H. Nakano; hemichordate images, B. Swalla, cephalochordate, P. Martinez.
