Figure 1.
Simplified pancrustacean phylogeny, after [5]. Note some smaller, cryptic clades are not shown, including some members of the Maxillopoda, which are paraphyletically grouped with the Ostracoda (e.g., Branchiura and Pentastomida). Phylogenetic analysis is presently conflicted on the closest sister group to the Hexapoda: [5] places the Xenocarida as the outgroup to the Hexapoda, whereas [6] places the Branchiopods in this position.
