In relation to the Gbx genes, they have been previously identified in three cephalopods, two gastropods, one solenogaster, and six bivalves.

Hox, Parahox, EHGbox, and NK genes in bivalve molluscs: evolutionary implications

For entoprocts and small brachiopods (Novocrania anomala and Macandrevia cranium), whole-body tissue was employed; for larger brachiopods (Glottidia pyramidata, Hemithris psittacea, and Laqueus californicus), extractions focused on mantle and muscle; for the solenogaster (a.k.a neomenioid) aplacophoran mollusc Proneomenia custodiens, unhatched juveniles were used.

Repurposed transcriptomic data facilitate discovery of innate immunity toll-like receptor (TLR) genes across lophotrochozoa

Notably, Salvini-Plawen himself states "the available characters are extremely homoplastic and that homology decisions are far too uncertain to accept the resulting trees as reflections of the phylogeny of the Solenogastres." Therefore, studies of entire internal hard parts are desirable to provide additional characters to evaluate solenogaster evolution.
