some uncertainty existed regarding the taxonomy of the order anthoathecata. the most simple scheme, used until recently by most authors since it was proposed in 1913, divided the order into a smaller suborder (filifera) and a second larger one (capitata), but several unusual anthoathecatae did not fit into this arrangement, and a considerable number did so awkwardly. the porpitidae, for example, are highly aberrant group, and were at one time even considered a separate order "chondrophora". however, they are currently considered to be derived from zancleida. in the early 21st century, the well-known "hydra" and its relatives – and most of the supposed filiferan infraorders tubulariida and moerisiida – were determined to be a very ancient lineage, recognized as suborder aplanulata. although not all anthoathecatae have been firmly placed in the phylogeny, most are fairly certainly assigned at least to one of the major subdivisions. as a notable exception, a prehistoric family, the heterastridiidae, is still highly disputed regarding its relationships to the extant taxa, as are a small number of very aberrant and/or little-known species such as the aptly named "saccohydra problematica".
