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]

Antennopoda was defined by De Haro, where Tardigrada was not included in his tree. [1] In a subsequent article of him, 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]
