Manaosbiidae

The Manaosbiidae are a family of neotropical harvestmen within the suborder Laniatores.

Name
The name of the type genus is combined from Manaus and Ancient Greek bios "living".

Description
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.

Distribution
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.

Relationships
The relationship of Manaosbiidae with other families within the Gonyleptoidea is unclear.
