Neopilionidae

The Neopilionidae are a family of harvestmen with 15 known species. It has a clearly Gondwanan distribution, with species found in Australia, South Africa and South America, and probably represent relicts of that time. The family members range in size from the small Americovibone lancafrancoae (0.9 mm) to over 4 mm in the Enantiobuninae. Some species of Enantiobuninae have blue pigmentation, which is rather unusual in harvestmen. The family name is a contraction of Ancient Greek neo 'new' and Latin Opilio, a genus of harvestman.
