article in Lethaia

[Dieter Waloszek]

Hi all, Ken seems not to have passed over it, so here again: The  
article on Haikoucaris and our idea on the phylogeny of Chelicerata  
that includes, as stem taxa, the great-appendage arthropods and also  
the Anomalocarididae sensu Hou & Berström (1997) = Anomalocaris,  
Amplectubelua and Parapeytoia, has now been put onto the LETHAIA  
website after one month of begging and many mails to the company. Here  
is the URL:

Just copy it into your browser window. Yet, if you are not a subscriber  
you will not have access to the article regrettably, but you may just  
ask me. By the way, we exclude all those taxa that in our view make  
"anomalocaridids" a nebulous, non-related mixture of everything from  
stem arthropods to truly arthropods. That's what we also discuss this  
treatment as a severe problem that hindered, for a longer time, the  
view onto relationships of some of the taxa. We included also pictures  
of all the antennulae of these taxa modified into the grasping organs.

        Yours kindly, DIETER
