The Hexanauplia is a clade proposed by Oakley et al. (2013) that constitutes a class of crustaceans, comprising the Copepoda and Thecostraca. A number of recent phylogenomic studies have not found support for this clade, with some supporting the alternative clade of Communostraca comprising Thecostraca and Malacostraca.
