The largest branch of multicrustacea is the class Malacostraca (see below).

Fossil record

{{expand section|date=December 2023}}

The earliest fossils representative of Multicrustacea are from the Cambrian.{{cite journal |author1=Collette, Joseph H. |author2=Hagadorn, James W. |year=2010 |title=Early evolution of phyllocarid arthropods: phylogeny and systematics of Cambrian–Devonian archaeostracans |journal=Journal of Paleontology |volume=84 |issue=5 |pages=795–820 |doi=10.1666/09-092.1|bibcode=2010JPal...84..795C|s2cid=85074218 }} However, the more specific timeline is uncertain. Some Cambrian fossils of uncertain taxonomic placement, such as those of Priscansermarinus, are nonetheless likely to be members of Multicrustacea.{{cn|date=December 2023}}
