Taracid Harvestmen
Taracidae is a family of harvestmen (Opiliones) established by Schönhofer in 2013, containing four genera and 23 described species. The family includes the genera Taracus, Oskoron, Hesperonemastoma, and Crosbycus, though the placement of the latter two remains taxonomically disputed. Members are primarily distributed in western North America, with some species exhibiting troglomorphic adaptations suggesting cave-dwelling habits.
