Synocheta

Synocheta is a major monophyletic section of small, often frail-appearing isopods in the suborder Oniscidea. It is currently considered closely related to the smaller section Microcheta, which together form the clade Monospermophora, although some workers consider it to be closer to the much larger section Crinocheta. All three sections form the monophyletic supersection Orthogonopoda, which contains the vast majority of the diversity within Oniscidea.
