title: TABLE 3 in The oribatid mite superfamily Eutegaeoidea (Acari, Oribatida), with descriptions of new taxa from Australia and New Caledonia and a re-assessment of genera and families

description: TABLE 3. Putative synapomorphies indicated by character states polarities (1 = putative synapomorphy; 0 = plesiomorphy) of the genera and families of Eutegaeoidea. For simplicity, genera containing both character states are coded according to the states possessed by the majority of species. Shading indicates division of families: Eutegaeidae: Eutegaeus, Atalotegaeus, Neseutegaeus; Neoeutegaeidae: Humerotegaeus, Neoeutegaeus; Cerocepheidae: Cerocepheus; Bornebuschiidae: Bornebuschia, Dicrotegaeus; Pterozetidae: Pterozetes, Dudichella; Porrhotegaeidae: Porrhotegaeus; Compactozetidae: Compactozetes, Hamotegeus, Sadocepheus. Outgroups are Cepheus, Charassobates, Microtegeus and Podopterotegaeus
