报道了缅甸上白垩统（Albian）缅甸琥珀中的两个包裹体，描述为一新属、新种-。第一个被命名的中生代收割者可以被称为Dyspnoi亚目，原因如下：前体分为两个区域，后体由中长和后长的融合形成，触须缺乏末端爪，有棍棒状刚毛，跗骨比胫骨短得多。两裂的、向前突出的眼结节使人想起直棘线虫科。本文简要评述了与Opiliones有关的其他中生代化石的研究现状。
Two inclusions in a piece of Upper Cretaceous (Albian) Burmese amber from Myanmar are described as a harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones), Halitherses grimaldii new genus and species. The first Mesozoic harvestman to be named can be referred to the suborder Dyspnoi for the following reasons: prosoma divided into two regions, the posterior formed by the fusion of the meso- and metapeltidium,- palp lacking a terminal claw, with clavate setae, and tarsus considerably shorter than the tibia. The bilobed, anteriorly projecting ocular tubercle is reminiscent of that of ortholasmatine nemastomatids. The status of other Mesozoic fossils referred to Opiliones is briefly reviewed.
