The Manaosbiidae are a family of neotropical harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores.
The name of the type genus is combined from Manaus and Ancient Greek bios "living". [1]
Body length ranges from about three to ten millimeters. Most species are dark brown with black mottling. Appendages are in general much lighter, often with dark rings. [1]
The Manaosbiidae occur south from Panama, with a southern limit in Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil). They inhabit lowland Amazonian rainforest up to submontane Andean forests, dry forests in Central America, and riparian forests in Brazil. [1]
The relationship of Manaosbiidae with other families within the Gonyleptoidea is unclear. [1]
Hogna is a genus of wolf spiders with more than 200 described species. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.

Tmarus is a genus of crab spiders, comprising 227 species:
The Sclerosomatidae are a family of harvestmen with about 1,300 known species. One former subfamily has been recently removed to form a new family, Globipedidae.
Leiobunum is a genus of the harvestman family Sclerosomatidae with more than 100 described species. Contrary to popular belief, they are not spiders, although they share a resemblance. They are arachnids, in the order Opiliones, harvestmen. Species in Leiobunum tend to have relatively long legs compared with other harvestmen, and some species are gregarious.

Paratamboicus was a genus of harvestmen in the family Sclerosomatidae from the Americas, described by Mello-Leitão 1940 with the type-species by original designation being Paratamboicus bicornutus Mello-Leitão, 1940. It was much later considered as Junior subjective synonym of Holcobunus Roewer 1910 by Tourinho & Kury (2001).
Prionostemma is a large genus of harvestmen in the family Sclerosomatidae from Mexico, Central America, and South America.
