 | | Older versions of crustacean classification broke into the classes Branchiopoda, Branchiura, Cephalocarida, Cirrpedia, Copepoda, Malacostraca, Mystacocarida and Ostracoda. |
 | | It maintains the same six classes: Branchiopoda, Cephalocarida, Ostracoda, Malacostraca, Maxillopoda, and Remipedia. |
 | | It can be argued that Maxillopoda should actually be dissolved into its four subclasses, Copepoda, Thecostraca, Tantulocarida and Mystacocarida, to make nine classes of crustaceans, but it is generally kept as a whole. |
