 Comments
       
  Comment: Xiphosura has variously been used a class or a subclass, but Merostomata is used instead in recent works. See publications such as Ruggiero et al. (2015), G. Giribet & G. Hormiga in Brusca et al. (2016), G. Giribet (2018), and G. Giribet & G. Hormiga in Brusca et al. (2022)
