Taxonomic Rankings
leaving this here in case some people need a visual guide to know where the Phylum: "Vastaya" would be placed.
Also, here's a quick Wiki-definition of what a Chordata is, so we can see how that Phylum is categorized.
A chordate is an animal belonging to the phylum Chordata; they possess a notochord, a hollow dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, an endostyle, and a post-anal tail, for at least some period of their life cycle. Chordates are deuterostomes, as during the embryo development stage the anus forms before the mouth. They are also bilaterally symmetric coelomates. In the case of vertebrate chordates, the notochord is usually replaced by a vertebral column during development, and they may have body plans organized via segmentation.
