Chinquipellobunus
Chinquipellobunus is a genus of harvestmen (Opiliones) in the family Stygnopsidae, subfamily Stygnopsinae. The genus was established by Goodnight & Goodnight in 1944. Members of this genus are classified within the infraorder Grassatores, a diverse group of tropical and subtropical harvestmen characterized by relatively short legs and compact bodies.
Crosbyella spinturnix
Crosbyella spinturnix is a species of armoured harvestman in the family Phalangodidae, described by Crosby and Bishop in 1924. Originally placed in the genus Phalangodes, it was later transferred to Crosbyella. As a member of the suborder Laniatores, it possesses hardened body armour characteristic of this group. The species is documented from North America, though detailed ecological and behavioral studies appear limited.
Megacina cockerelli
armoured harvestman
Megacina cockerelli is a species of armoured harvestman in the family Phalangodidae. It was originally described as Sitalcina cockerelli by Goodnight & Goodnight in 1942. The species belongs to a group of harvestmen characterized by hardened body armor and is found in North America.
Phalangodes armata
Phalangodes armata is a species of harvestman (order Opiliones, suborder Laniatores) in the family Phalangodidae, described by Tellkampf in 1844. It belongs to the infraorder Grassatores, a diverse group of short-legged harvestmen characterized by their compact body form and often cryptic habits. As a member of the superfamily Phalangodoidea, this species represents one of the more derived lineages within the harvestmen, though specific natural history details remain poorly documented in available literature.
Sitalcina seca
Sitalcina seca is a species of armoured harvestman described by Ubick & Briggs in 2008. It belongs to the family Phalangodidae, a group of small, often cave-dwelling or soil-associated harvestmen characterized by compact bodies and reduced eyes. The species is known from North America. As with many phalangodid harvestmen, detailed biological information remains limited.
Sitalcina sura
armoured harvestman
Sitalcina sura is a species of armoured harvestman in the family Phalangodidae, described by Briggs in 1968. It belongs to the suborder Laniatores, a diverse group of harvestmen characterized by relatively short legs and often heavily armoured bodies. The species is known to occur in North America. As with many phalangodid harvestmen, detailed ecological and behavioral information remains limited in published literature.
Stygnommatidae
Stygnommatid Harvestmen
Stygnommatidae is a small family of harvestmen (Opiliones) in the infraorder Grassatores, containing approximately thirty described species. These arachnids are characterized by their compact body form, enlarged and armed pedipalps, and relatively short legs. They are primarily litter-dwelling inhabitants of Neotropical forests, with some species adapted to cave environments. The family's monophyly remains disputed among arachnologists.
