Travuniidae

The Travuniidae are a small family of harvestman with little more than ten described species, within the suborder Laniatores.

Travuniidae are at the most three millimeters long, with slender, unarmed legs and robust, strongly spined pedipalps.^[1]

Travuniidae have been found in Europe, Japan and the United States. Although some were described from Slovenia, these records proved to be erroneous.^[1]

Travuniidae are most closely related to Cladonychiidae; it is even possible that Travuniidae is paraphyletic in respect to this family.^[1]

The name of the type genus is derived from the Latin name of Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[1]
