Poecilaemula iching is a species of harvestmen from Central America in the family Cosmetidae. It was first described in 2024 by Medrano, Kury, Martins, and Proud. [1] [2]
It is only known from the vicinity of Bocas del Toro, Panama.
The Opiliones are an order of arachnids, colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs. As of July 2024, 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.
Gonyleptidae is a neotropical family of harvestmen with more than 800 species, the largest in the suborder Laniatores and the second largest of the Opiliones as a whole. The largest known harvestmen are gonyleptids.
Cosmetidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores. With over 700 species, it is one of the largest families in Opiliones. They are endemic of the New World with a Nearctic-Neotropical distribution where a large fraction of the diversity of Opiliones are represented by this single family. Cosmetidae have the northern extent of their range into the USA, where a small number species occur in the southern states. However, the family is especially diverse in Mexico, Central America and northern South America; especially the Andean realms. Their range also extends further south into Argentina and southern Brazil, but they are absent in Chile. Cosmetidae are prevalent in Amazonian region, but only relatively few also occur in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Several species are also found in the Caribbean.
The Stygnidae are a family of neotropical harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores.
The Cranaidae are a family of neotropical harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores.
The Icaleptidae are a small family of neotropical harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores. Although only two species have been described, many more are probably to be discovered.
Yania is a genus of harvestmen from South America. Yania flavolimbata is the only species in the monotypic genus Yania. It was first described by Roewer, 1914.
Ibalonius inscriptus is a species of harvestmen from the family Podoctidae. The species is endemic to Mahe Island and Silhouette Island of the Seychelles. The species has a synonymous name Ibalonius bimaculatus which as of 2024, remains listed as such on the IUCN database, despite being considered the same species by Hirst (1911), as followed in other catalogs and listings .. Similarly, another form described as Paribalonius bimaculatus duplex Roewer 1923 was also treated as a synonym by Staręga (1992).
