Here is a link to the Maas and Chen paper.

The paper is a formal description of Haikoucaris and discusses the possible homology between the great appendage of Anomalocaridids and other great appendaged arthropods with the chelicarae.

By the way my suggestion that Hallucigenias spines may be the exopod element of biramous appendages may be incorrect as I do not specialise in arthropods. I intend to research this further.
