Synallactida is a rankless clade of sea cucumbers, but is referred to as an order.[1] Taxa within Synallactida were previously classified in an order called Aspidochirotida, which was determined to be polyphyletic in 2017.[2]

The order includes 130 species in three families:[3]

  • Stichopodidae Haeckel, 1896 – 9 genera
  • Synallactidae Ludwig, 1894 – 12 genera
  • Deimatidae Théel, 1882 – 3 genera
