Suborder SPINICAUDATA Linder, 1945
Introduction
Taxonomy and phylogeny within the Spinicaudata are controversial. Schwentner et al. (2009) analyzed sequences of three gene fragments (28S rRNA, 16S rRNA and COI) and concluded that major monophyletic lineages could be distinguished: Limnadiidae, Leptestheriidae, Eocyzicus and all Cyzicidae except Eocyzicus.
