Allotriocarida is a large clade of arthropods containing the hexapods and their closest crustacean relatives. Some of the most famous examples of animals in this group include insects, tadpole shrimp, and springtails. The group is closely related to barnacles, crabs, and isopods. Some of the lesser known animals in this group include the remipedes and the horseshoe shrimp. The group was first named in 2013.[1]
