Flagellicaudata – clade od Dinosauria. It belongs to Sauropoda and includes 2 families: Dicraeosauridae and Diplodocidae[1].
Clade Flagellicaudata has been described in 2004, in a paper titled A new diplodocoid sauropod dinosaur from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Montana, USA by Jerald D. Harris and Peter Dodson in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. In this paper they descibed a genus of sauropod dinosaur, Suuwassea. The authors carried out phulogenetic analysis and pointed out that Suuwassea, when more derived than Rebbachisauridae, is in a trichotomy with tho other family belonging to Diplodocoidea (Diplodocidae and Dicraeosauridae). The new genus makes with Diplodocidae and Dicraeosauridae clade which was named Flagellicaudata. It was defined as a node-based clade consosting of the most recent common ancestor of Dicraeosaurus and Diplodocus and all of its descendants. The word "Flagellicaudata" refers to long, whip-like tails of that animals (flagellum is a latin word meaning "whip" and cauda means in latin "tail")[1].
