Metasiro
Metasiro is a genus of mite harvestmen (Cyphophthalmi) in the family Neogoveidae, established by Juberthie in 1960. The genus contains three described species: M. americanus, M. sassafrasensis, and M. savannahensis. These small arachnids are part of the ancient suborder Cyphophthalmi, which represents the most basal lineage of harvestmen. Species in this genus have been documented from eastern North America.
Metasiro sassafrasensis
mite harvestman
Metasiro sassafrasensis is a species of mite harvestman (suborder Cyphophthalmi) in the family Neogoveidae. It was described in 2014 by Clouse and Wheeler. The species is known from a single locality in Grady County, North America. Like other Cyphophthalmi, it is a small, eyeless harvestman adapted to cryptic habitats.
Siro exilis
Siro exilis is a species of mite harvestman (order Opiliones, suborder Cyphophthalmi) in the family Sironidae. The species was first described by Hoffman in 1963 and is currently recognized as a synonym of Neosiro exilis. It occurs in North America, with records from counties in Garrett, Giles, Mercer, Montgomery, and Pendleton. As a cyphophthalmid harvestman, it belongs to a group of small, eyeless arachnids that inhabit moist microhabitats in forested environments.
Siro kamiakensis

It was described by Newell in 1943 and is currently classified under the genus Neosiro, though it was historically placed in Siro. The species is found in North America, with records from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
