List of Assamiidae species Last updated February 04, 2026 This is a list of the described species of the harvestman family Assamiidae . The data is taken from WCOlite (World Catalogue of Opiliones), [ 1] reflected in iNaturalist. [ 2] An earlier version of this listing was generated by Joel Hallan's Biology Catalog. [ 3]
Many of Roewer 's subfamilies are poorly justified, and further restudy of the relationships within this family await further research. [ 4]

(Note: Cardwella was under Erecinae per Roewer, 1935 [reflected in Hallan catalog], but reclassified as Dampetrinae in Forster, 1955: 368, per WCO, 2023).
