Phylogeny and classification of extant Arthropoda: Review of hypotheses and nomenclature

STYS P., ZRZAVY J.
N/A

Recent contributions to extant arthropod phylogeny are reviewed with particular reference to the Hexapoda. Approaches based on morphology, embryology, and paleontology are compared with those derived from molecular data. A new formal classification of the Arthropoda and Hexapoda, based on strict morphological-molecular consensus, is suggested - Arthropoda: 1. Onychophora, 2. Euchelicerata, 3. Pycnogonida, 4. Crustacea, 5. Myriapoda, 6. Hexapoda: 6. 1. Parainsecta, 6.2. Campodeina, 6.3. Japygina, 6.4. Ectognatha. Nomenclature of higher-taxa names used as valid in the literature since 1945 is reviewed and commented upon.

Keywords: Phylogeny, classification, nomenclature, Arthropoda, Hexapoda, Insecta
