Carboniferous
The Carboniferous is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic that spans 60 million years from the end of the Devonian Period Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Permian Period, Ma.

Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
Illinois
Illinois is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States.
Lobopodia
Lobopodians are members of the informal group Lobopodia (from the Greek, meaning "blunt feet"), or the formally erected phylum Lobopoda Cavalier-Smith (1998).
Monotypic taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.
See Helenodora and Monotypic taxon
Myriapoda
Myriapods are the members of subphylum Myriapoda, containing arthropods such as millipedes and centipedes.
Nomen dubium
In binomial nomenclature, a nomen dubium (Latin for "doubtful name", plural nomina dubia) is a scientific name that is of unknown or doubtful application.
See Helenodora and Nomen dubium
Onychophora
Onychophora (from ονυχής,, "claws"; and φέρειν,, "to carry"), commonly known as velvet worms (due to their velvety texture and somewhat wormlike appearance) or more ambiguously as peripatus (after the first described genus, Peripatus), is a phylum of elongate, soft-bodied, many-legged animals.
See Helenodora and Onychophora
Pennsylvanian (geology)
The Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, on the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods of the Carboniferous Period (or the upper of two subsystems of the Carboniferous System). Helenodora and Pennsylvanian (geology) are Carboniferous United States.
