Lonchoplanella axi belongs to Mariplanellida, whose status as infraorder is herein confirmed. The genus Toia belongs separate from Cicerinidae. Further research is needed to clarify the phylogenetic relationships of Hoploplanella. Most of the species, genera and families included in this study with more than one terminal are monophyletic and well supported. Adding gene markers and complementary morphological studies will help to clarify those relationships that remain uncertain.
