Opiliones, Eupnoi, Metopilio Group, Dalquestia rugosa, female (4289983106)

Description:

Description: Dalquestia is classically placed into the "Metopilio group", with other US genera including Globipes and the desert-dwelling Eurybunus. Recent phylogenetic analyses by Giribet et al suggest that Dalquestia may be phylogenetically isolated, perhaps less closely related to the Met group than previously believed.
