can someone explain to me how to interpret this conclusion from a recent (2009) 
publication (doi: 10.1093/molbev/msp150):

>Both inference methods robustly show a paraphyletic Acoelomorpha as sister group 
>to the other bilaterians

how can Acoelomorpha be paraphyletic if it is the sister group to the other 
bilaterians???
