Sandokanidae

Sandokanidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores, formerly referred to as Oncopodidae (the name was replaced because of the secondary homonymy of the type genus Oncopus, replaced by Sandokan; this made the change of family name mandatory) [1]

Name

The name of the type genus is based on the name of a fictional Bornean prince-pirate.[1]

Description

Sandokanidae range in body size from about 2–11 mm. Their legs are relatively short and stout. Most species are amber colored with some dark brown patterns. A few undescribed Gnomulus species are orange.[2]

Distribution

This family is known from Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching New Guinea on Waigeo, up north into the Himalayan region.[2]

Relationships

Sandokanidae are probably the sister group to all other Grassatores.[2]

gollark: Perhaps you could try and get a more comfortable keyboard.
gollark: If you blame xorg, try wayland?
gollark: No. As far as I know, at least, load is added more by being in channels than by having lots of people. And if lots of people are in the same channels, this doesn't create much additional load.
gollark: You can live without the missing things, but it's not ideal.
