For the first time a hypothesis of homology is proposed for the macrosetae which compose
the armature of the distal truncus penis of the Gonyleptoidea. Previous attempts to name …

Gonyleptidae is the second most diverse harvestmen family and the most studied in terms of
morphology, behaviour, and ecology. Despite this, few phylogenetic studies have focused …

Gonyleptoidea, largely restricted to the Neotropics, constitutes the most diverse superfamily
of Opiliones and includes the largest and flashiest representatives of this arachnid order …

The study of diversity has become increasingly sophisticated, including the use of measures
of phylogenetic diversity. We calculate the spatial variation in species richness, taxonomic …

A new family of Laniatores, Gerdesiidae fam. nov., is proposed based on molecular and
morphological evidence. Data also indicate that this new family is the sister family of …

Species of the genus Sadocus Sørensen, 1886 are conspicuous gonyleptids that occur in
Chile and Argentina. Here, the genus is revised for the first time and the cladistic analysis …

From an ecological and evolutionary standpoint, troglobitic organisms are of special interest
because they have evolved in, and are restricted to, the subterranean environment …

Opiliones are highly diverse in the Neotropics. Because of biological constraints, most
harvestmen communities are associated with humid forests, exhibiting a high species …

A new genus of Gonyleptidae Pachylinae, Qorimayus gen. nov., is described to place the
high-altitude species originally named Parabalta alticola Ringuelet, endemic to Sierra de …

Se reporta la composición de la fauna de opiliones de las familias Gonyleptidae y
Triaenonychidae de la cordillera de Nahuelbuta. Se analizó un total de 49 lotes obtenidos …
