Changes are made to inconsistencies, mistakes and omissions in the catalogue of American Laniatores by Kury (2003) and Neave’s Nomenclator and the Zoological Record.
A multilocus approach to harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones) phylogeny with emphasis on biogeography and the systematics of Laniatores
- G. Giribet, Lars Vogt, Abel Pérez González, P. Sharma, A. Kury

Age estimates for the main Opiliones lineages suggest a Carboniferous diversification of Cyphophthalmi, while its sister group, Phalangida, diversified in the Early Devonian, and most major lineages predate the Cretaceous.
The prickly blade mapped: establishing homologies and a chaetotaxy for macrosetae of penis ventral plate in Gonyleptoidea (Arachnida, Opiliones, Laniatores)
- A. Kury, M. O. Villarreal

- 1 May 2015
For the first time a hypothesis of homology is proposed for the macrosetae which compose the armature of the distal truncus penis of the Gonyleptoidea, thus compensating for their hypothesized secondary position shifts.

The taxonomy of harvestmen is progressing at a fast pace, but the total number of valid species grows slowly because the new synonymies from revisions almost cancel out the new descriptions.
Why does the Tricommatinae position bounce so much within Laniatores? A cladistic analysis, with description of a new family of Gonyleptoidea (Opiliones, Laniatores)
- A. Kury
- Biology
- 1 September 2014
The first cladistic analysis of the Tricommatinae is presented here based on a matrix with 88 terminals and 117 characters. The subfamily, hitherto with 28 genera and 53 species, is not recovered as…
Review of terminology for the outline of dorsal scutum in Laniatores (Arachnida, Opiliones).
- A. Kury, M. Medrano
- BiologyZootaxa
- 29 March 2016
This paper focuses on the different forms of the scutum magnum, a shield formed by the fusion of the carapace with abdominal tergites I to V that occurs in the males of Heteropachylinae Kury, 1994 and Paralolidae Kratochvíl, 1958.
A classification of the penial microsetae of Gonyleptoidea (Opiliones: Laniatores).
- A. Kury
- BiologyZootaxa
- 28 October 2016
The macrosetae of the ventral plate of Laniatores penis have been occasionally described and used for systematic purposes in the literature, to the point of having a whole system created for them in…
Two new species of Heterophrynus Pocock, 1894 from Colombia with distribution notes and a new synonymy (Arachnida: Amblypygi: Phrynidae).
- A. Giupponi, A. Kury
- BiologyZootaxa
- 9 May 2013
Heterophrynus is currently known from Amazon forest, Brazilian Cerrado, Littoral Ridge of Venezuela and Andean forests, and a revised terminology is proposed for the constituent parts of male and female gonopods of Heterophrysus.
A Review of Roquettea, with Description of Three New Brazilian Species and Notes on Gryne (Opiliones, Cosmetidae, Discosomaticinae)
- C. Ferreira, A. Kury
- BiologyZoological Science

The genua Roquettea Mello-Leitão, hitherto monotypic and known from Brazilian state of Pará, is rediagnosed, the type species, Roquettea singularis is redescribed, including a report on two male…
Early lineages of Gonyleptidae (Arachnida Opiliones Laniatores)
- A. Kury
- Biology
- 1 November 1994
As result of cladistic methodology applied to the study of Gonyleptidae, four precocious branches are newly recognized in the phylogeny of the family. Three new subfamilies are proposed and diagnosed…
