The taxonomic problems posed by this situation are not easily resolved; Kirkpatrick (2007) provided a good discussion of the potential synapomorphies of each pellaeid subclade and the various nomenclatural options.
Komai and Segonzac (2003) did not recognize Mirocarididae, originally proposed by Vereshchaka (1997a) to accommodate the genus Mirocaris, because the presence of possible synapomorphies strongly suggests that Mirocaris is subordinated in Alvinocarididae.
