Family of harvestmen/daddy longlegs
The Triaenonychidae are a family of
harvestmen with about 120
genera and more than 440 described species.
Description
Most Triaenonychidae are from three to five millimeters long, although some species from South Africa can be only 1 millimetre (0.039 in) long. Some species in the subfamily Adaeinae are almost 10 mm (0.39 in) long. Legs are almost always short, measuring 4–12 mm (0.16–0.47 in). The armed
pedipalps are large, and much stronger than the legs.
[1]
Distribution
Triaenonychidae are found in
North and
South America ,
Japan and
Korea ,
Australia and
New Zealand , and
Madagascar .
[1]
Relationships
The Triaenonychidae should probably split into at least two families. The genera from the Australian region are considered Triaenonychidae sensu stricto , and may include the strange
Synthetonychiidae ; the northern species should be grouped with
Travuniidae .
[1]
Name
The name of the type genus Triaenonyx is combined from
Ancient Greek
τρίαινα (triaina , "trident, fish spear") and
ὄνυξ (onyx , "claw").
