Taxonomic remark From Lerosey-Aubril et al. (2017): "This taxon was originally described as a class. We propose to elevate it to a subphylum level to reflect the widely accepted taxonomic ranks of some of its components (e.g. Class Trilobita) and the fact that these components form two to three major clades, including the Vicissicaudata, here regarded as superclasses."
