Sandokanidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores, formerly referred to as Oncopodidae (the name was replaced because of the secondary homonymy of the type genus Oncopus, replaced by Sandokan; this made the change of family name mandatory) [1]

Name
editThe name of the type genus is based on the name of a fictional Bornean prince-pirate.[1]
Description
editSandokanidae range in body size from about 2–11 mm. Their legs are relatively short and stout. Most species are amber colored with some dark brown patterns. A few undescribed Gnomulus species are orange.[2]
Distribution
editThis family is known from Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching New Guinea on Waigeo, up north into the Himalayan region.[2]
Relationships
editSandokanidae are probably the sister group to all other Grassatores.[2]
