[Taxacom] Hennigian Term?

[Jody Haynes]

It is probably a misspelling of "autapomorphy," which is a cladistic term 
that refers to a derived trait possessed by a single species (or terminal 
group) and none of its genetic relatives (or other members of its clade). It 
is the opposite of "synapomorphy".
