Travunioidea

Sclerobunus nondimorphicus, copyright Marshal Hedin.

Belongs within: Laniatores.
Contains: Cladonychiidae, Metanonychus.

The Travunioidea are a group of Holarctic laniatorean harvestmen characterised by male genitalia in which the expansive muscles tend to be restricted to the base of the truncus, often associated with a simplification of the glans (Derkarabetian et al. 2018).
