Ischyropsalis Hadzii
''Ischyropsalis'' is a genus of harvestmen in the monotypic family Ischyropsalididae, with 24 described species. They are found in Europe. Description The genus ''Ischyropsalis'' was described by C.L. Koch, 1839, with the type species ''Ischyropsalis kollari'' C.L. Koch, 1839. Species in this genus range in body length from about 4 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 Southern Italy (''i.e.'' Calabria) in the south. A find from Sardinia is considered doubtful. Species These 24 ...
