Combined five-marker analysis and systematic revision sampling about half of known staurozoan species; traditional suborders are rejected in that matrix.
Claim ledger
Staurozoa has no supported scalar crown range in the cited evidence: extant systematics does not date the crown and the Haootia comparison is contested, so the former 562–0 Ma display is withheld.
