The Fissiphalliidae are a small monotypic neotropical family of harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores, superfamily Zalmoxoidea. It contains only the single genus Fissiphallius Martens, 1988 with seven described species (as of 2023). [1] [2] . All species are found in the South America. [1] [3] [4]
The name of the type genus is combined from Latin fissus "split" and Ancient Greek phallos "penis". [5]
Fissiphallius are about two to three millimeters long, with legs ranging from three to almost nine mm. The color ranges from yellowish to pale brownish, sometimes with stripes or dots. [5]
Fissiphallius have been found in Colombia (e.g. around Bogotá) at elevations of about 3,500 meters, and in lowlands of central and eastern Amazon Rainforest. [5]
These species belong to the genus Fissiphallius: [1]
Fissiphalliidae could form a monophyletic group with Zalmoxidae, or even be a group within them. [5]
