Tactopoda is a proposed clade of protostome animals that includes the phyla Tardigrada and Euarthropoda, supported by various morphological observations.[1][2] The cladogram below shows the relationships implied by this hypothesis.

Panarthropoda

The competing hypothesis is that Arthropoda sensu lato[3] (= Euarthropoda + Onychophora, the arthropods and the velvet worms) is monophyletic,[4] and tardigrades lie outside this grouping.

Anatomic arguments for the tactopoda monophyly include similarities in the anatomies of head, legs, and muscles between the arthropods and the tartigrades. Anatomic arguments against it include that tartigrades lack the kind of circulatory system (including a dorsal heart) which the arthropods and the velvet worms share. Graham Budd argued that the lack of this system in recent tartigrades is due to their miniature size, which makes a complex circulatory system superfluous; thus, the loss of this feature would be a secondary property, acquired as tartigrade stem group turned smaller, and both the Euarthropoda+Onychophora circulatory system and a relatively large size should be a feature of the last common ancestor of all three groups.[1] However, Gregory Edgecombe also invoked phylogenomic evidence in favour of the alternative Euarthropoda+Onychophora grouping.[4]
