Abstract

Pseudoscorpions are an ancient arachnid group with a fossil record that extends to the Devonian, with all modern families having likely evolved during the Mesozoic. One of the rarest pseudoscorpion families, Menthidae, is sporadically distributed around the world, and ever since its description has been included in the superfamily Garypoidea. Based on new Sanger sequencing and phylotranscriptomic data, Menthidae are inferred to be a member of the superfamily Neobisioidea, and the sister-group to a clade that includes Gymnobisiidae, Neobisiidae and some Syarinidae.

神秘的假蝎子科Menthidae （Pseudoscorpiones）的系统发育定位：基于新分子数据修订的超家族分配。

假蝎子是一种古老的蛛形纲动物，其化石记录可以延伸到泥盆纪，而所有现代家庭都可能在中生代进化。其中一个最罕见的假蝎子科，薄荷科，零星分布在世界各地，自从它的描述被包括在超科Garypoidea。根据新的Sanger测序和系统转录组学数据，Menthidae被推断为Neobisioidea超家族的成员，并且是包括Gymnobisiidae， Neobisiidae和一些Syarinidae的分支的姐妹群。

期刊介绍： Invertebrate Systematics (formerly known as Invertebrate Taxonomy) is an international journal publishing original and significant contributions on the systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of all invertebrate taxa. Articles in the journal provide comprehensive treatments of clearly defined taxonomic groups, often emphasising their biodiversity patterns and/or biological aspects. The journal also includes contributions on the systematics of selected species that are of particular conservation, economic, medical or veterinary importance. Invertebrate Systematics is a vital resource globally for scientists, students, conservation biologists, environmental consultants and government policy advisors who are interested in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems. Invertebrate Systematics is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
