淡水生境的Branchiura包括有效的Arguus属、Chonopeltis属、Dipteropeltis属和Dolopps属，目前有113个有效种和12个未描述的种。整个种群由通常以鱼为食的体外寄生物种组成。属和种的多样性最高出现在非洲热带和新热带地区。淡水物种的多样性超过了海洋和微咸水的物种，但这可能是由于对后者栖息地的动物群研究不足。有一种名为Arguus Japan onicus的物种已从东亚/东南亚引入除南极洲以外的所有其他大陆。对较高级别亲缘关系的研究将布兰基乌拉与五角纲或介形纲联系在一起。关于这一组中的属或种的系统发育关系的假说尚未提出。
The Branchiura of freshwater habitats, consisting of the valid genera Argulus, Chonopeltis, Dipteropeltis, and Dolops, presently contains 113 valid species and 12 undescribed species. The entire group is composed of ectoparasitic species that usually live on fishes. The highest diversity of genera and species occurs in the Afrotropical and Neotropical regions. The diversity of the freshwater species surpasses that of species in marine and brackish waters, but this could be due to inadequate study of the fauna of the latter habitats. One species, Argulus japonicus, has been introduced from east/southeast Asia to all other continents, except Antarctica. Studies of higher level relationships place the Branchiura with either Pentastomida or Ostracoda. Hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships of either the genera or species in this group have not been proposed.
