Calanoida
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Clade:	Pancrustacea
Superclass:	Multicrustacea
Class:	Hexanauplia Oakley, T.H., J.M. Wolfe, A.R. Lindgren & A.K. Zaharoff, 2013
Subclasses
Copepoda Thecostraca (?)Tantulocarida

The Hexanauplia is a clade proposed by Oakley et al. (2013) that constitutes a class of crustaceans, comprising the Copepoda and Thecostraca. ^{[1] [2]} A number of recent phylogenomic studies have not found support for this clade, ^{[3] [4] [5]} with some supporting the alternative clade of Communostraca comprising Thecostraca and Malacostraca. ^{[4] [5]}

Classification

This taxon is no longer accepted according to the World Register of Marine Species (May, 2022). ^[6] Copepoda and Thecostraca are now treated as classes in Superclass Multicrustacea, along with classes Malacostraca and Tantulocarida. ^[7]
