A harvestman (a male Phalangium opilio), showing the almost fused arrangement of abdomen and cephalothorax that distinguishes these arachnids from spiders. Harvestmen have a pair of prosomatic defensive scent glands that secrete a peculiar-smelling fluid when disturbed. In some species, the fluid contains noxious quinones.

Limited data are available for the "primitive" arachnid orders, such as Scorpiones (scorpions) and Opiliones (harvestmen). Here, we present the first data on Hox gene expression in the harvestman Phalangium opilio. Ten Hox genes of this species were obtained from a de novo assembled developmental transcriptome using the Illumina GAII platform.
