Abstract
⺠We sequenced four new syndermatan mt genomes focusing on acanthocephalan taxa. ⺠The mt gene order is highly conserved among all major acanthocephalan subtaxa. ⺠Phylogenetic analyses confidently confirm paraphyletic Eurotatoria. ⺠Inferred trees suggest loss of lateral sensory organs in some Palaeacanthocephala.
