Dasylobus

Dasylobus graniferus, from here.

Belongs within: Phalangiidae.

Dasylobus is a primarily European group of phalangiid harvestmen that do not exhibit strong sexual dimorphism between males and females and which possess a more or less distinct apophysis on the pedipalpal patella (Roewer 1923). Distinct genera Dasylobus and Eudasylobus have been recognised in the past on the basis of whether or not denticles are present on the cheliceral lamellae but are now regarded as synonymous.
