Larca lata, copyright John Hallmén.

Belongs within: Iocheirata.
Contains: Olpioidea, Elassommatina.

The Panctenata are a clade of pseudoscorpions characterised by features of the chelicerae, including the presence of a velum (though this is absent in some olpioids) and lamina exterior (Harvey 1992).

Synapomorphies (from Harvey 1992): Velum present; lamina exterior present; movable cheliceral finger with one or two distal teeth or lobes; seta gs of movable cheliceral finger subdistal; serrula exterior completely fused to movable cheliceral finger.
