Abstract
⺠The first and multilocus phylogeny of the Holarctic distributed Opiliones genus Sabacon. ⺠We find deep divergence, exceeding other genera in the Dyspnoi, warranting re-investigation of the genus level of Sabacon. ⺠We find three of four regional faunas non-monophyletic, and three clades including intercontinental disjuncts. ⺠Diversification and intercontinental exchange within the four major lineages corresponds with the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. ⺠Dispersal and speciation is likely mediated by the onset of global cooling.
