  Eumalacostraca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eumalacostraca (Greek: "true soft shell") are a subclass of crustaceans, containing almost all living malacostracans, about 22,000 described species.
(The outgroups are the Phyllocarida and possibly the Hoplocarida or mantis shrimps.)
Here we follow Martin and Davis in excluding them; they are placed in their own subclass, Hoplocarida.

Palaeo- and archaeostomatopods (Hoplocarida: Crustacea)from the Bear Gulch Limestone, Mississippian (Namurian), of central Montana.
The problem is not that the hoplocarida are so distinctive and unique, it is that the Eumalacostraca are not characterized by many robust apomorphies.
A cladistic phylogenetic analysis of the Hoplocarida including the Paleozoic forms resolves the higher level relationships of the hoplocarids (palaeostomatopods, archaeostomatopods, aeschronectids and unipeltatans).

 "The weapons shrimp"
Its kind have been around for 135 million years and are "spearers" of the superorder Hoplocarida, which means "weapons shrimp".
Now hear this: My name is Pterygosquilla armata capensis and I am a 200 mm Cape mantis shrimp, but divers call me a "Spearer".
This is what comes naturally to a warrior of the superorder Hoplocarida!

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Books & CDs
The volume opens with a general introduction to the Malacostraca, giving an historical overview of the work on this group.
The Catalogue then summarises the baseline data on nomenclature and taxonomy of all Phyllocarida, Hoplocarida and Eucarida (with the exception of crabs, hermit crabs and their allies).
For each family there is a brief introduction and diagnosis, then Australian species are cited by name and original references are given.

 ICC6 Symposium 1
No consensus has been reached on the number of classes within the Crustacea and the relationships between them.
A similar temporary impasse applies to important issues addressing the monophyly of the Peracarida, the phylogeny of the Branchiopoda and the position of the Hoplocarida, Mystacocarida and Copepoda.
Finally, accruing evidence from molecular and developmental genetic sources of data appears to favour a closer affinity between Hexapoda and Crustacea, reviving the Pancrustacea hypothesis first proposed at the turn of the 20
