Phlogites, a senior synonym of Cheungkongella ancestralis,[1] (sometimes misspelt Cheungkungella)[2] is a cambroernid, and thus a member of the deuterostome total group. It is known from the Lower Cambrian Haikou Chengjiang deposits of China, and was initially compared to the tunicates.[3] It was originally described as a tunicate, though, this identification has been questioned, especially with the discovery of another Chengjiang tunicate, Shankouclava. It has most recently been interpreted as a cambroernid related to Eldonia, Rotadiscus and Herpetogaster.[4][5]
