class mnogenea and trematoda
part of phylum acoela, parasites (ecto+endo) with suckers and hooks
class cestoda
part of phylum acoela, tapeworms, have a sclorex and proglottids
sclorex
hooks for tapeworms to latch onto prey
proglottids
repeating units in tapeworms that are each capable of reproduction
