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.[2][3] Stanleycaris appears to be a basal euarthropod.[4]

Tardigrada (Water bears)

Antennopoda

Antennopoda was defined by De Haro, where Tardigrada was not included in his tree.[1] In a subsequent article, his use of Antennopoda was inconsistent with the current usage.[5] Especially the position of the Tardigrada is disputed, the alternative hypothesis of Tactopoda includes tardigrades and arthropods as the sister group to velvet worms.[2]
