Lycopodiidae is a subclass of Equisetopsida in the sense used by Mark W. Chase and James L. Reveal in their 2009 article "A phylogenetic classification of the land plants to accompany APG III." This subclass comprises the Lycopods. It is equivalent to the division Lycopodiophyta in previous classifications.
The following diagram shows a likely phylogenic relationship between subclass Lycopodiidae and the other Equisetopsida subclasses.
