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".[1]

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.[1]

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.[1]

Relationships

The relationship of Manaosbiidae with other families within the Gonyleptoidea is unclear.[1]
