Traditionally, Panarthropoda (Euarthropoda, Onychophora, Tardigrada) are regarded as being closely related to Annelida in a taxon Articulata, but this is not supported by molecular analyses.
Concurring hypotheses: Panarthropoda are either the sister taxon of Annelida within the Articulata (A) or of Cycloneuralia within Ecdysozoa.
Proposed relationships under the Ecdysozoa hypothesis: Panarthropoda and Cycloneuralia are sister taxa, the closest sister group of Ecdysozoa is Gastrotricha.

 Ecdysozoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A few other groups, such as the gastrotrichs, have been considered possible members but lack the main characters of the group, and are now placed elsewhere.
The Panarthropoda are distinguished by a segmented body plan, and as such were traditionally believed to have evolved from the Annelida (segmented worms), together comprising the Articulata.
However, they do not have many other characteristics in common, so it now appears that they developed segmentation separately.

 Comparative developmental genetics of the ecdysozoa: Tardigrades   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Panarthropoda (Onychophora + Tardigrada + Arthropoda) recieves 71% support.
Thus multiple datasets, morphological and molecular, recover the Ecdysozoa, and place Tardigrada either basal to Panarthropoda or transitional between Panarthropoda and Cycloneuralia (the other non-arthropodan ecdysozoa).
ED, are well placed to root and illuminate the phylogenetic analysis of ecdysozoan development.

Characters in that work that pertained to Annelida or which are invariant in the ingroup for this study (synapomorphies of Panarthropoda) are excluded in the present analysis.
Their coding for myriapods and hexapods followed Boudreaux (1979), who regarded ecdysis involving transverse rupture between the head and trunk to be diagnostic of Myriapoda.
Expression of the Hox genes Antp, Ubx, abdA and AbdB has led to the proposal that the crustacean "thorax" or pereion is homologous to the hexapod thorax and abdomen (Averof and Akam, 1995; Deutsch, 1997).

 Comparative Morphology: Do the Ultrastructural Investigations of Loricifera and Tardigrada Support the Clade Ecdysozoa?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In the many recent textbooks Panarthropoda (Arthropoda, Onychophora, Tardigrada) are regarded as a sister-group to Annelida in the taxon Articulata, but this view is not supported by molecular data.
Comparisons of these molecular data suggest that all taxa with ecdysis (Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Priapulida, Kinorhyncha, Loricifera and Panarthropoda) should be included in a monophylum Ecdysozoa.
In this case, the new morphological data on Loricifera and Tardigrada - based on ultrastructure and new TEM labelling technique - may indicate that the Cycloneuralia could be the sister group to Panarthropoda, and then the monophylum Ecdysozoa really exists, and the clade is not an "artifact" as some authors (including me) have stated.

In the molecular interpretation, where there is no direct link between the annelids and arthropods, the velvet worms are seen as protoarthropods and combined with Tardigrada and Arthropoda in the Panarthropoda.
Although the fossil record doesn't usually contain information about the soft-bodied animals, onychophorans have been identified in the Burgess Shale that captured the tremendous diversity of soft-bodied animals in the Cambrian explosion of animal forms.

Panarthropoda is another widely accepted group of molting animals and includes arthropods, onycophorans and tardigrades.
The key to Ecdysozoa is to place Cycloneuralia and Panarthropoda together as sister taxa.
Many molecular studies of metazoan phylogeny utilize sequences from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans because its genome has been completely sequenced.

 Information On: Ecdysozoa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The name comes from the Greek words ecdysis (molting) and zoon (animal) after a character common to the group.
Phyla considered Ecdysozoa are: * Panarthropoda o Arthropods o Tardigrades o Onychophora * Nematoda * Nematomorpha * Cephalorhyncha o Kinorhyncha o Priapulida o Loricifera The non-pararthropoda have sometimes been considered a monophyletic group, occasionally called the Cycloneuralia, but they are more likely paraphyletic.
Gastrotrichs are seen as a close sister taxon to the Ecdysozoa.

We have identified and sequenced for the first time hemocyanins from the diplopod and chilopod Myriapoda.
Hemocyanins are also present in the Onychophora, suggesting that respiratory proteins emerged before the radiation of the Panarthropoda.
The superfamily of arthropod hemocyanins includes in addition to the proteins for which they are named, the arthropod phenoloxidases, certain crustacean and insect storage proteins (pseudohemocyanins and hexamerins), as well as the highly diverged hexamerin receptors of the insects.

Nielsen (1995) grouped Arthropoda, Annelida, and Mollusca together in Teloblastica within his Spiralia, as shown in the indented list above.
He placed the clade Panarthropoda (Arthopoda, Tardigrada, and Onychophora) as the sister group to Annelida.
Among the earliest and most robust conclusions from 18S rDNA studies is that Arthropoda are in a clade separate from Annelida and Mollusca (Field et al.

Many members of this group regularly shed their cuticle, a process called ecdysis.
Panarthropoda share molting cuticle (as in other ecdysozoans) and hemocoel as well as other morphological characteristics.
Molecular data also support a close relationship among the three phyla in this group.

Furthermore, palaeontological data can be consulted to elucidate the problem.
The diversity of stem group arthropods known today might make it possible to draw conclusions about the last common ancestor of Panarthropoda and to compare it in the light of the Articulata/Ecdysozoa problem.
This diversity of approaches illustrates the character of modern systematics: complex systematical problems call for an integration of comparative analyses from different disciplines.
