Neoophora is a group of flatworms with ectolecithal eggs, i.e., yolk ist not present in the egg, but rather secreted by accessory organs called vitellaria or yolk glands.[1]
The monophyly of Neoophora is disputed, since some recent molecular studies indicated that the most basal order, Lecithoepitheliata, is more closely related to Polycladida, a non-neoophoran order, than to other neoophorans.[2]
