Cambropachycopidae is a family of Cambrian arthropods known from the Orsten of Sweden, united by their singular, large compound eye and heavily enlarged cephalic segment. Both species were roughly a millimeter long with similar body structures, however Goticaris is distinguished by two stalked blisters near its eye, as well as a longer body and smaller eye than Cambropachycope.{{Cite journal |last1=Waloszek |first1=Dieter |last2=Müller |first2=Klaus |date=1990-10-01 |title=Upper Cambrian stem-lineage crustaceans and their bearing upon the monophyly of Crustacea and the position of Agnostus |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280025168 |journal=Lethaia |volume=23 |pages=409–427 |doi=10.1111/j.1502-3931.1990.tb01373.x}} They are suggested to be stem-group mandibulates.{{Cite journal |last=Edgecombe |first=Gregory D. |date=2017-09-01 |title=Inferring Arthropod Phylogeny: Fossils and their Interaction with Other Data Sources |journal=Integrative and Comparative Biology |volume=57 |issue=3 |pages=467–476 |doi=10.1093/icb/icx061 |pmid=28957518 |issn=1540-7063|doi-access=free }}
