Several innovations relating to tagmosis or the appendages borne on particular somites are summarised here as putative apomorphies of individual higher taxa. -

Hallipterus excelsior, a Stylonurid (Chelicerata: Eurypterida) from the Late Devonian Catskill Delta Complex, and Its Phylogenetic Position in the Hardieopteridae O. Erik Tetlie Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, P. O. Box 208109, New Haven CT 06520-8109 USA — email: [email protected] Abstract The priority of the names Stylonurus excelsior and S. lacoanus from the Late Devonian of the east- ern United States has been disputed since they were first recognized as synonyms. The genus Hal- lipterus was later erected for the two known specimens, and they were again separated into distinct species, based on six listed differences, seemingly resolving the priority dispute. However, four of the differences are not present or can be interpreted as ontogenetically or taphonomically induced, and the remaining two are putatively interpreted as sexually dimorphic based on com- parisons with Tarsopterella, a closely related taxon. The two species are therefore synonymized again and the species epithet excelsior is considered to have priority. Advocates of both names also provided different reconstructions, mainly based on other stylonurids. Hallipterus is placed in the Hardieopteridae based on putative synapomorphies with Hardieopterus and particularly Tarsop- terella, the latter also clearly a hardieopterid, and the phylogenetic position of the Hardieopteri- dae is discussed. Although only the original two specimens of H. excelsior are known today, as a century ago, a new reconstruction is provided, supported by phylogenetic evidence, to replace the two earlier versions. Keywords Carapace, Catskill delta, chelicerates, eurypterid, ICZN, North America, synonymy. Introduction Some of the stylonurids (forms without swim- ming legs) were also very large, especially those Eurypterids, commonly referred to as sea scorpi- of Devonian to Permian age, when they chiefly ons, are chelicerate arthropods that lived in mar- occur in deposits of fluvial and lacustrine origin. -

Arthroaspis N. Gen., a Common Element of the Sirius Passet
Stein et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:99 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/13/99 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Arthroaspis n. gen., a common element of the Sirius Passet Lagerstätte (Cambrian, North Greenland), sheds light on trilobite ancestry Martin Stein1*, Graham E Budd2, John S Peel2 and David AT Harper3 Abstract Background: Exceptionally preserved Palaeozoic faunas have yielded a plethora of trilobite-like arthropods, often referred to as lamellipedians. Among these, Artiopoda is supposed to contain taxa united by a distinctive appendage structure. This includes several well supported groups, Helmetiida, Nektaspida, and Trilobita, as well as a number of problematic taxa. Interrelationships remain unclear, and the position of the lamellipedian arthropods as a whole also remains the subject of debate. Results: Arthroaspis bergstroemi n. gen. n. sp., a new arthropod from the early Cambrian Sirius Passet Lagerstätte of North Greenland shows a striking combination of both dorsal and ventral characters of Helmetiida, Nektaspida, and Trilobita. Cladistic analysis with a broad taxon sampling of predominantly early Palaeozoic arthropods yields a monophyletic Lamellipedia as sister taxon to the Crustacea or Tetraconata. Artiopoda is resolved as paraphyletic, giving rise to the Marrellomorpha. Within Lamellipedia, a clade of pygidium bearing taxa is resolved that can be shown to have a broadly helmetiid-like tergite morphology in its ground pattern. This morphology is plesiomorphically retained in Helmetiida and in Arthroaspis, which falls basally into a clade containing Trilobita. The trilobite appendages, though similar to those of other lamellipedians in gross morphology, have a unique outward rotation of the anterior trunk appendages, resulting in a ‘hard wired’ lateral splay, different to that observed in other Lamellipedia. -

The importance of classification in biology increases every year, because the experimental and practical fields find increasing need for accurate identification of animals and for understanding of compara- tive relationships. At least one outstanding biologist has opposed pubUcation of this new classification on the ground that it would be accepted as final, the classification, and would tend to make students think that all higher classification is finished. The intention of the compiler is just the op- posite. Just as this classification is different in detail from all previous ones, so will future editions be still different, as we learn more about the comparative features of animals. It is anticipated that every new edition will spur students of the individual groups to propose improvements. -
Morphological Phylogenetics of the Sea Spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida)
Org. Divers. Evol. 2, 107–125 (2002) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ode Morphological phylogenetics of the sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) Claudia P.Arango* Department of Zoology and Tropical Ecology, James Cook University,Townsville,Australia Received 1 July 2001 • Accepted 2 April 2002 Abstract Pycnogonids or sea spiders are a group of marine arthropods whose relations to the chelicerates have been an issue of controversy. Higher-level phylogenetic relationships among the lineages of sea spiders are investigated using 36 morphological characters from 37 species from all extant families and a Devonian pycnogonid fossil. This is one of the first attempts to analyze the higher-level relationships of the Pycnogonida using cladistic techniques. Character homoplasy (implied weights) is taken into account to construct a polytomous, most-parsimonious tree in which two major clades within Pycnogonida are obtained. Clade A includes Ammotheidae paraphyletic with Colossendeidae,Austrodecidae and Rhyn- chothoracidae, and clade B is formed by Nymphonidae, Callipallenidae (apparently paraphyletic), Pycnogonidae and Phoxichilidiidae.The analysis of equally weighted data is presented and helps to identify those characters less consistent. The reduction of the chelifores, palps and ovigers – shown independently within each of the clades as parallel evolution events – challenges the assumption of a gradual mode of reduction within the group, according to analysis of unordered vs ordered characters. Most of the phylogenetic affinities proposed here are compatible with tradi- tional classifications. However, traditional taxonomic characters need to be complemented by sets of anatomical, molecular and developmental data, among others, to produce more robust phylogenetic hypotheses on the higher- and lower-level relationships of the sea spiders. -
