Antennopoda Explained

The Antennopoda (or Arthropoda s.l.) are a proposed clade consisting of the Euarthropoda and the Onychophora, as sister of the Tardigrada, together forming the Panarthropoda.^{[1] [2]} Stanleycaris appears to be a basal Euarthropod.^[3]

Antennopoda was defined by De Haro, where Tardigrada was not included in his tree. In a subsequent article of him, his use of Antennopoda was inconsistent with the current usage.^[4] Especially the position of the Tardigrada is disputed, the alternative hypothesis of Tactopoda includes tardigrades and arthropods as the sister group to velvet worms.
