Pachylinae
Pachylinae is the most diverse subfamily of the harvestman family Gonyleptidae Gonyleptidae is a neotropical family of harvestmen (Order Opiliones) with more than 800 species, the largest in the Suborder Laniatores and the second largest of the Opiliones as a whole. The largest known harvestmen are gonyleptids. Like most h ..., including around 400 valid species. Major groups of species occur in the Brazilian Atlantic forest, Bolivian/Peruvian highlands, Argentina and Chilean temperate forest.

Lacronia Ceci
''Lacronia'' is a genus of Pachylinae ( Arachnida, Opiliones, Gonyleptidae), which includes four Brazilian species. A striking diagnostic character is the trochanter IV of male with strong medial prolateral apophysis forming a pincer with the dorso-apical apophysis of coxa IV. Two of these species present neon green stripes on the mesotergum (Kury, 2003b), which is uncommon in this subfamily. Taxonomic history This genus was at first called ''Luederwaldtia'' Mello-Leitão, 1923, but the name was already preoccupied, being a junior homonym of '' Luederwaldtia'' Schmidt, 1922 ( Hemiptera). Strand (1942) proposed the valid replacement name ''Lacronia'', which was ignored by most subsequent authors and unearthed only 60 years later (Kury, 2003a). Species * '' Lacronia camboriu'' Kury, 2003 – Santa Catarina (coast) * '' Lacronia ceci'' Kury & Orrico, 2006 – Rio de Janeiro (mountains) * '' Lacronia ricardoi'' Kury, 2003 – São Paulo (southern coast) * '' Lacronia serri ...

Gonyleptidae
Gonyleptidae is a neotropical family of harvestmen (Order Opiliones) with more than 800 species, the largest in the Suborder Laniatores and the second largest of the Opiliones as a whole. The largest known harvestmen are gonyleptids. Like most harvestmen, gonyleptids are almost exclusively nocturnal, except some Caelopyginae, Goniosomatinae, (during reproductive season), Gonyleptinae, Mitobatinae, Pachylinae and Progonyleptoidellinae. Most species inhabit dense tropical, subtropical and temperate (Chile) forests, but some occur in open vegetation as the Pampas, the Cerrado, and the Caatinga. There are some species that live in caves, but only three troglobites are recorded for the family. Name The family is named after the type genus ''Gonyleptes'', which is derived from Greek ''gony, gonatos'' = joint, knee + ''leptos, ê, on'' = thin, fine, delicate. Gg Diagnosis Laniatores with coxa IV immensely developed, widely surpassing dorsal scutum in dorsal view in most species. ...
