Overview |
Dinocaridid phylogeny. This phylogeny is based mostly on Daley et al 2009 and Liu et al 2011. Kerygmachela is sometimes considered a basal lobopod because of the terminal rather than ventral mouth. But as most of its other characteristics are clearly Dinocarididian we have placed it as a basal member of that evolutionary grade. MAK120423
