Ischyropsalis
''Ischyropsalis'' is a genus of harvestmen in the family Ischyropsalididae, found in Europe. There are more than 20 described species in ''Ischyropsalis''. Description Species in this genus range in body length from about four to 8.5 mm. They have moderately long legs. The greatly enlarged chelicerae can be almost twice as long as the body. While they share this feature with the Nipponopsalididae, this is a case of convergent evolution. The elongated pedipalps are rather slender. Some species occur in caves. Distribution Members of this genus are restricted to Europe, with many species found in the mountains (Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathian Mountains, and Dinaric Mountains). They reach into the Netherlands, northwestern Germany and Poland in the north and to Calabria in the south. A find from Sardinia is considered doubtful. Name The genus name is a combination of Ancient Greek ''ischyros'' "strong" and ''psalis'' "shears", referring to the greatly enlarged chelicerae. Specie ...
