Taxonomic remark Previously included in Xiphosura. Lamsdell, 2012 states: Xiphosura sensu stricto is itself the sister group to a clade named Planaterga nom. nov. consisting of bunodids, pseudoniscids, chasmataspidids, eurypterids, and arachnids, a group defined at its base by the loss of the distinctive axial and subaxial nodes found on other synziphosurines. Chasmataspidids, eurypterids and arachnids are further defined in their ground plan by the possession of a 13-segmented opisthosoma (although this is then reduced in arachnids) and form a monophyletic clade, which is here named Dekatriata nom. nov. [details]
