Heterozerconoidea View in CoL

Diagnosis: Movable digit in adults with thin, strap-like dorsal extension (2); gnathotectum without prominent points (15); median dorsal setae minute (31); genitiventral and anal shields not fused (66, reversed within some Heterozerconidae ); some marginal opisthosomal setae flattened (77.2); acrotarsus on legs I present (82); setae av4 and pv4 on tarsi IV absent (101).

Remarks: As noted in the character discussion, possession of opisthogastral suckers (63) is not assumed to be an apomorphy for this grouping, as homology of the discozerconid and the heterozerconid suckers is uncertain.
