abstract = {Gonyleptoidea, largely restricted to the Neotropics, constitutes the most diverse superfamily of Opiliones and
includes the largest and flashiest representatives of this arachnid order. However, the relationships among its main lineages
(families and subfamilies) and the timing of their origin are not sufficiently understood to explain how this tropical clade
has been able to colonize the temperate zone. Here, we used transcriptomics and divergence time dating to investigate
the phylogeny of Gonyleptoidea. Our results support the monophyly of Gonyleptoidea and all of its families with more
than one species represented. Resolution within Gonyleptidae s.s. is achieved for many clades, but some subfamilies are
not monophyletic (Gonyleptinae, Mitobatinae, and Pachylinae), requiring taxonomic revision. Our data show evidence for
one colonization of today?s temperate zone early in the history of Gonyleptidae, during the Paleogene, at a time when
the Neotropical area extended poleward into regions now considered temperate. This provides a possible mechanism for
the colonization of the extratropics by a tropical group following the Paleocene?Eocene Thermal Maximum, explaining
how latitudinal diversity gradients can be established. Taxonomic acts: Ampycidae Kury 2003 is newly ranked as family;
Neosadocus Mello-Leit?o is transferred to Progonyleptoidellinae (new subfamilial assignment).}
