Parasiro is a genus of harvestmen belonging to the family Parasironidae with one described species. [1] [2] It is found in Southwestern Europe. [1] [3] [4]
The genus Parasiro was described by Hansen & Sørensen 1904, with the type species Cyphophthalmus corsicus Simon, 1872. The genus included three species for many years, but subsequently has been reduced back to just the single type species. [5]
This species belong to the genus Parasiro:
The genus is masculine.
The Opiliones are an order of arachnids colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs. As of April 2017, over 6,650 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the total number of extant species may exceed 10,000. The order Opiliones includes five suborders: Cyphophthalmi, Eupnoi, Dyspnoi, Laniatores, and Tetrophthalmi, which were named in 2014.
Dyspnoi is a suborder of harvestmen, currently comprising 43 extant genera and 356 extant species, although more species are expected to be described in the future. The eight families are currently grouped into three superfamilies: the Acropsopilionoidea, Ischyropsalidioidea, and Troguloidea.
The Stylocellidae are a family of harvestmen with about 40 described species, all of which occur in Southern or Southeastern Asia. Members of this family are from one to seven millimeters long. While Stylocellus species have eyes, these are absent in the other two genera.
Carinostoma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with 3 described species from southeastern Europe.
Acuclavella is a genus of thorn harvestmen in the family Ischyropsalididae, found in the Pacific Northwest. There are about seven described species in Acuclavella.
Cladolasma, is a genus of harvestmen belonging to the family Nemastomatidae. The genus is monotypic containing a single species Cladolasma parvulum. They are endemic to Japan, with records in Ehime and Tokushima Prefectures. The genus was described by Seisho Suzuki, with the type species Cladolasma parvulum Suzuki, 1963, subsequently revised to Dendrolasma parvulum in Suzuki (1974), but later restored as a valid genus.
Ortholasma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with 5 described species. The genus has been revised by Shear (2010).
Dendrolasma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with two described species. Both species are found in the western coast of North America. An overview of their taxonomy was provided by Schönhofer (2013).
Ischyropsalis is a genus of harvestmen in the monotypic family Ischyropsalididae, with 24 described species. They are found in Europe.
Cyphophthalmus is a genus of harvestmen belonging to the family Sironidae. It is found in Europe notably with several species in the Balkans and Turkey.
Ischyropsalidoidea is a superfamily of harvestmen with 9 genera, found in Europe and North America.
Asiolasma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with six described species . The species are found in Southeast Asia, namely China, Vietnam and Thailand. Some species are treated under other genera in Schönhofer (2013).
Troguloidea is a superfamily of harvestmen with 4 genera, found mostly in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Trilasma is a genus of harvestmen in the family Nemastomatidae with nine described species . The species are mainly found in Mexico.
Parasironidae is a family of harvestmen with 7 described species.
Ebrosiro is a genus of harvestmen belonging to the family Parasironidae, it is monotypic with one described species. It is found in Southern Europe.
Cimmerosiro is a genus of harvestmen in the suborder Cyphophthalmi with three described species. All three species are found in Eastern Europe and West Asia.
Tirrenosiro is a genus of harvestmen in the suborder Cyphophthalmi with two described species. Both species are found in Southern Europe.
Abria is a genus of harvestmen in the family Cosmetidae with three described species. All species are from Venezuela. An overview of the taxonomy was provided by Villarreal, Medrano & Kury (2023)
