Protolophus tuberculatus
Protolophus tuberculatus is a species of harvestman (order Opiliones) in the family Protolophidae, first described by Banks in 1893. It is found in the western United States and broader North America. As a member of the Protolophidae, it represents one of the relatively small families within the suborder Eupnoi. The specific epithet "tuberculatus" refers to tuberculate (bumpy or knobby) features, likely on the body surface.
