Cryptomastridae

	Cryptomastridae Cryptomastridae is a family of armoured harvestmen in the order Opiliones. There are two genera and four described species in Cryptomastridae, found in Oregon and Idaho. The members of Cryptomastridae were formerly members of the family Cladonychiidae. Genera These two genera belong to the family Cryptomastridae: * ''Cryptomaster'' Briggs, 1969 * ''Speleomaster ''Speleomaster'' is a genus of armoured harvestmen in the family Cryptomastridae Cryptomastridae is a family of armoured harvestmen in the order Opiliones.

picture info	Opiliones The Opiliones (formerly Phalangida) are an order of arachnids colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs. , 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. Representatives of each extant suborder can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Well-preserved fossils have been found in the 400-million-year-old Rhynie cherts of Scotland, and 305-million-year-old rocks in France. These fossils look surprisingly modern, indicating that their basic body shape developed very early on, and, at least in some taxa, has changed little since that time. Their phylogenetic position within the Arachnida is disputed; their closest relatives may be the mites (Acari) or the Novogenuata (the Scorpiones, Pseudoscorpiones, and Solifugae). Althou ...

	Cryptomaster Leviathan ''Cryptomaster leviathan'' is an opilionid arachnid known from southeastern Oregon. It is named after the Leviathan of the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible due to its large body size compared to most travunioid Laniatores. Like its relative '' C. behemoth'', it is found in mature coniferous or mixed coniferous and hardwood forests. However, it has also been found in disturbed forests and forests with few conifers. It is often found under decaying logs and stumps and in the leaf litter of maple trees and ''Polystichum ''Polystichum'' is a genus of ferns in the family Dryopteridaceae, subfamily Dryopteridoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).

	Cladonychiidae The Cladonychiidae are a small family of harvestman with about 33 described species, within the suborder Laniatores. Description Members of this family range from less than two to about four millimeters in body length, with robust, spined pedipalps and rather short legs, although the second pair can be as long as two centimeter. Most Cladonychiidae are reddish brown to dark brown, but cave-dwelling species are pale yellow. Not all species have eyes. (2007): Cladonychiidae Hadži, 1935. In: Pinto-da-Rocha ''et al.'' 2007: 179ff Distribution The members of Cladonychiidae are found in Southern Europe and the United States. Fossils ''Proholoscotolemon'' was recently found in Baltic amber. Relationships The genera '' Peltonychia'', '' Holoscotolemon'', '' Erebomaster'', '' Theromaster'', '' Speleonychia'', '' Briggsus'', and '' Isolachus'' from the family Travuniidae and the former family Pentanychidae have been transferred to Cladonychiidae.
