Hurdiidae is a clade of anomalocaridan. It is the most long-lived anomalocaridan clade, lasting from the Cambrian period to the Devonian period.[1]

Definition

Hurdiidae is the most inclusive clade containing Hurdia victoria but not Amplectobelua symbrachiata, Anomalocaris canadensis, or Tamisiocaris borealis.[1]

Phylogeny
