Description
editThe superfamily Ischyropsalidoidea was described by Eugene Simon,[3] with the type genus as Ischyropsalis C.L. Koch, 1839 by original implicit etymological designation.[1]
Taxonomy
editIschyropsalidoidea contains the following families, per World Catalog of Opiliones.[1] Of the 9 genera (as of 2023), 1 of those is extinct and remains of uncertain phylogenetic affinity within the Superfamily. The scheme below reflects Schönhofer (2013)[4] plus subsequent amendments such as by Shear & Warfel (2016).[5]
- Ischyropsalididae Simon, 1879
- Sabaconidae Dresco, 1970
- Taracidae Schönhofer, 2013
Plus †Piankhi Shear, 1986 as "Ischyropsalididae incertae sedis"
