Abstract

The hypothesis of close relationships between Holothyrida and Ixodida, is re-examined based on new morphological and molecular data . Description of the larva of a new species of Neothyridae, the first formal description for that instar for the entire suborder, does not provide additional morphological data supporting the relationship. However, because the larva is holotrichous, it does allows the first direct comparisons of setation patterns among immatures of all four parasitiform suborders. Analysis of sequence data for 4 loci, with representation of all families of Holothyrida, provided strong evidence for (1) monophyly of Holothyrida, (2) a close relationship of Holothyrida and Ixodida, and (3) a grouping of the "large bodied" Parasitiformes, Opilioacarida, Holothyrida, and Ixodida, to the exclusion of Mesostigmata.
