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)
Name The name of the type genus is based on the name of a fictional Bornean prince-pirate.
Description Sandokanidae 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. (2007): Oncopodidae. Kury & Pérez G., 2002. In: Pinto-da-Rocha et al. 2007: 211ff
Distribution This family is known from Southeast Asia from Indonesia, almost reaching New Guinea on Waigeo, up north into the Himalayan region.
Relationships Sandokanidae are probably the sister group to all other Grassatores.
